iPad: How to create a different icon for iOS 7?

On iOS 7 for iPhone, there is a new app icon size: 120x120. I use this size to create an iOS 7-specific icon. On iOS 6 it will automatically take the "old" 114x114 icon, and on iOS 7 this new 120x120 image.

I want to do the same for an iPad app. Unfortunately I cannot do the same trick here because the icon dimensions didn't change! It is still 72x72 and 144x144 (Retina).

Does anyone know how I can make the icon look different on both iOS 6 and iOS 7?

Use AlliOSIconsWithProperName application which will provide you all the icons based on information provided here. Get the application from here, and follow the instructions in readme file to create all the required icons for iOS application.

Xcode 5 added asset catalogs (.xcassets) which remove the need to follow naming conventions when adding images to your app.

When the WWDC videos are back up on the developer site, take a look at 400 - Whats new in Xcode 5

As evidenced by iOS 7 screenshots around the web, the iPad icons have increased in size to 76x76 and 152x152. So just use those sizes for your iOS 7 icons and the old sizes for iOS 6 and earlier.

Just use "asset catalog" (you can select that from general on your target).

That would create an images.xcassets on your project there you can easily drag your icon designs for pre iOS 7 and for iOS 7.
