How to handle hi res and low res of application's Icon.png for iPhone and iPhone4

I have already provided both Icon.png (for iPhone) and [email protected] (for iPhone4). The thing is, when I just provided Icon.png of size 144x144, the console outputs this message:

"iPhone/iPod Touch: Icon.png: icon dimensions (144 x 144) don't meet the size requirements. The icon file must be 57x57 pixels, in .png format (-19014)"

But this renders icon in both iPhone and iPhone4 well.

I want to be able to remove this issue so I reduced the size for Icon.png to 57x57 and created [email protected] with size 144x144. After this, icon for iPhone seems fine but iPhone4 uses Icon.png and the icon renders a low res image.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

The icon size will be 114X114 and not 144X144. Apple provides the following documentation for this: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/mobilehig/IconsImages/IconsImages.html

So there will be 2 icons:

icon.png with 57X57 [email protected] with 114X114

Heres the images you need to make to support all current devices

  • iTunesArtwork – Icon for iTunes AdHoc distribution (512×512)
  • [email protected] – Home screen icon for iPhone 4 (114×114)
  • icon-72.png – Home screen icon for iPad (72×72)
  • [email protected] – Settings/Spotlight icon for iPhone 4 (58×58)
  • icon.png – Home screen icon for iPhone 3 (57×57)
  • icon-Small-50.png – Spotlight icon for iPad (50×50)
  • icon-Small.png - Settings/Spotlight icon for iPhone 3 (29×29)
