When will large icons be supported from both iOS and Android ?

iOS has 512px and 1024px, AIR3.6 has 512px but not for iPad...

Android already has 96px on Nexus, so why Adobe isn't following industry ? you should be having these options even before they put those products out and not after, like 6 months after...

Thanks

AIR has support for 512px and 1024 px icons. You can try adding <image512x512> and <image1024x1024> tags under <icon> tag and you would be able to use them on iOS. I did not understand what did you mean when you said "AIR3.6 has 512px but not for iPad.."

In publish settings I don't see it for iPad, thats what I ment.

For Android I tried adding some weeks ago what you suggest here for the icons in xml file, specifically 96x96 size for latest Android devices, but its not working, I tested on Samsung Galaxy S3 and it won't take this icon, takes 72px one only.

Also question about XML exporting in publish settings of Flash CS6. Flash obviously creates default xml file for content we published. So how do you add new content to that file when every time you export/publish it creates new XML file? so it would be automatically overwritten, do you understand what I mean ? i perhaps don't understand how that part works thats why I'm asking.

If I have to import new XML file for Publish to add new icons (new sizes besides default ones), how does that xml file has to look? any examples?

I found an article that should help you out in publishing files for iOS at least. Its available at http://www.adobe.com/inspire/2012/12/ios-apps-flash-cs6.html

In Flash Professional, choose File > Publish Settings to open the Publish Settings dialog box.
Use the Target menu to choose AIR 3.x for iOS. Click the Player Settings button (the wrench icon) to access the AIR for iOS Settings dialog box
In the AIR for iOS Settings dialog box, click the Icons tab.
Use this area to define the icons that will be associated with your iOS app. The Deploy subfolder contains PNG files used for this sample project. As you select each icon dimension in the list, you can click the folder icon to the right of the field below and browse to select the corresponding icon file.

You dont need to add icons via an xml file in Flash CS6. Xml is used in Flash Builder to add icons.
