This is the list of icons I'm including, which also includes some Android sizes:

29x29, 36x36, 48x48, 50x50, 57x57, 58x58, 72x72, 100x100, 114x114, 144x144, 512x512, 1024x1024

Thanks.

That's a bit different to my list:

                    <image32x32>skins/assets/icons/icon_32x32.png</image32x32>

                    <image36x36>skins/assets/icons/icon_36x36.png</image36x36>

                    <image48x48>skins/assets/icons/icon_48x48.png</image48x48>

                    <image72x72>skins/assets/icons/icon_72x72.png</image72x72>

                    <image114x114>skins/assets/icons/icon_114x114.png</image114x114>

                    <image128x128>skins/assets/icons/icon_128x128.png</image128x128>

But mine isn't updated for retina displays yet.

I think 1024 is only neccessary as the app store icon, so it's uploaded as part of the submittal process and not embedded with the app?

I think some of what you list are Desktop AIR icons. The list I gave is based on the list that Flash Pro asks for in the publishing settings. It does list the 1024 size, though as you say that gets uploaded in iTunesconnect anyway. I include it just in case!

Several of the other sizes I gave either relate to Retina sizes (every smaller size has a 2X variation), or they are special ones used by iPad. Not sure exactly where though.

Here's Apple's list:

The 50x50 for example is a Spotlight search results size used by iPad, and the 100x100 is the Retina variation of that.
