High Res Icon - iPad3 ( not supported yet ? )

I'm trying to include the following to my app XML to allow for the x2 icon for iPad3

<icon>

        <image144x144>assets/icon72@2x.png</image144x144

        <image72x72>assets/icon72.png</image72x72>

        <image48x48>assets/icon48.png</image48x48>

</icon>

I get the following error.

application.icon.image144x144 is an unexpected element/attribute

Do I have the node name wrong ?

I can confirm that AIR3.3 supports the 144x144 icon.

But 3.3 is still beta2...

in the meantime, I submitted two apps without any trace of 144x144 icon, it went fine (I believe the 72x was quadrupled automatically).

However, I think the compiler should allow us to go on and create any icons we need, so we don't have to wait in the future for a new release of AIR if we need icons for devices that are not known when AIR is issued...

Or maybe just give a warning... stopping the compilation because an icon size was not foreseen, in the mobile world, doesn't look to me as a good idea, as in the future we will have more and more devices.

Make sure to update the SDK release in the namespace url after updating the SDK (lost some time on it!) :S

Wouldn't it be nice if adt would recognize that such feature wasn't available with that specific namespace? Dream world...

Try this:

- Rename your IPA to zip

- Add the files Icon-72.png (72 pixels) and Icon-72@2x.png (144 pixels) to the app folder

- Edit the Info.plist and add references to these 2 icons (where the others are referenced).

It should work, but I don't have an iPad 3 to try.

Note: If it doesn't work, try with Icon-Large@2x.png

The method you described of extracting the Info.plist and editing it wont work without codesigning you app again! You yourself can try this out and let us know if it works.

Support for high resolution icons(144x144)  does not exist with AIR 3.2. However, it will definetly be supported in the next release of AIR.

You can learn more about the next AIR mobile and desktop features by applying for our private prerelease program. By doing so, you'll get to know the features of the upcoming release in advance!

There's no workaround or cheat to accomplish this ?
