I see no one is assigned for this issue. We have been waiting for a reply on this and we need to release the application. Please help on this urgently.

To my knowledge, Apple is not actually rejecting apps missing this icon. Rather, they are advising that a recommended icon is missing. Please verify that your app has actually been rejected.

That said, we will be rolling out our iOS 7 support soon.

[amarpratap]

No They are rejecting the upload. They are making the binary invalid and hence the request new binary and the same error happens again.

This has happened even as of today. This is the reason that it is a Show stopper right now.

Though the email says its warning, The status in the itunesconnect is clearly saying binary as invalid and upload a new binary.

I currently have an App in review. I had received the same warning, but they have NOT rejected the binary. Is it possible your binary is being rejected for another reason?

I would suggest verifying with the reviewer, the reason for the rejection. My information and experience is that they should not be rejecting for this reason alone.

That said, I do recall situations where Apple's own reviewers are not all on the same page. In the meantime, I will let you know if they ultimately reject my app that is in review.

[amarpratap]

Sure. I will check again. The mail from them says only this for the reject. The mail also says its warning but then no other reason mentioned for the rejection.

Let me send out an email to the support as well.

[amarpratap]

One more thing my application doesnt even go to the review stage. It just says invalid binary and we get this email as the reason.

[bobeasterday]

Cool. Please let me know what they say. We are not quite ready for iOS 7, as it will require Build to support Cordova 3.1. If Apple is already rejecting apps for lack of iOS 7 support, it would certainly throw a big monkey wrench into the works.

My app submitted with only the 3 icon warnings. It is now Waiting For Review....

[bobeasterday]

@abssd - That is what I am seeing as well.

@bobeast, would it be a good temporary workaround to have a Build plugin which copies the 3 icons to the icons folder of the binary (with necessary references in the plist file)? I have one pending for review here: https://build.phonegap.com/plugins/102

[bobeasterday]

@ EddyVerbruggen - its certainly worth considering. The concern would be that it not interfere with the solution that will be provided when we roll out official iOS 7 support. Since I don't yet know what that will look like, its difficult to make the call this early.

We'll keep that one pending until we know more. - thanks

[EddyVerbruggen]

@bobeast I understand, that's a very good thing to keep in mind.
I think though that when Build supports the icons, having the plugin in your project doesn't make a difference, as the plugin simply replaces all references in the plist. And I would ofcourse applaud delisting the plugin from the plugins page once support has been added, so no new users get confused.
