Splash screen (launch image) vs icon for iPhone apps

I understand that the splash screen for iPhone apps is the Default.png. BTW, I am using XCode4 for development.

But the problem is that

when I try to upload the app using the application loader, application loader tells me that Default.png is too big: "icon dimensions don't meet the size requirement [..] 57x57 pixels".

If I would change the dimensions the splash screen will lose resolution, thus not looking good. So how can I differentiate between icon and splash screen so the application loader will not give me an error?

Thank you in advance!

You are mixing up Icon.png and Default.png. Both have to have the designated sizes. Respectively, 57x57 non-retina, 114x114 retina and 320x480 non-retina, 640x960 retina.

Make sure that you are not specifying any non-standard names for your icon files in your application plist.

Just make two different files with different dimensions and assign them to appropriate places in the target's summery tab as shown in image below

enter image description here

It must be required dimensions as specified in above answer
