Using flashbuilder 4.6 with sdk Apache Flex 4.11.0 FP 11.9 AIR 3.9 en_US, I can create an iOS app just fine. When changing the .ipa to a .zip and then inspecting the contents of the package, Icon-Small-50.png has the dimensions of 52 by 52. I have searched, but have not found any discussion of this. Can anyone confirm this? Perhaps I need to user a different sdk configuration?

Are you saying that Flash Builder creates the icons for you? I use Flash Pro, and there I have to make all the sizes for myself. In any case, 52x52 sounds wrong, have you submitted any apps that use that size?

I create each of the different image sizes myself, and then list them in the Adobe Air application descriptor file as:

<icon>

        <image29x29>Icon-Small.png</image29x29>

        <image40x40>Icon-Small-40.png</image40x40>

        <image50x50>Icon-Small-50.png</image50x50>

        <image57x57>Icon.png</image57x57>

        <image58x58>Icon-Small@2x.png</image58x58>

        <image72x72>Icon-Large.png</image72x72>

        <image76x76>Icon-Ipad-76.png</image76x76>

        <image80x80>Icon-Small-80.png</image80x80>

        <image100x100>Icon-Small-50@2x.png</image100x100>

        <image114x114>Icon@2x.png</image114x114>

        <image120x120>Icon-Iphone-120.png</image120x120>

        <image144x144>Icon@2x-Large.png</image144x144>

        <image152x152>Icon-Ipad-152.png</image152x152>

        <image512x512>iTunesArtwork</image512x512>

        <image1024x1024>iTunesArtwork@2x</image1024x1024>

</icon>

Image50x50 changes to a size of 52x52 after app is created with flashbuilder. In fact, all of the images change files sizes and become a little bigger. I have not submitted the app yet, as I am still in the development phase.

Your list is missing 36, 48, and 96.

That aside, PNGs shouldn't resize themselves when being built into an IPA. Can you check the program you’re using to make the icons?
