How to upload App Store icon for high-resolution screens?

The new iOS Human Interface Guidelines states that we should upload an 1024x1024 app icon for high-resolution iPhone and iPad. I've added a new version of my app some days ago, and now when I press "edit" in Version information I only have the option to upload an 512x512 App Store icon. Are you able to upload the 1024x1024 app icon?

Apple has changed the description for the icon within iTunes Connect. When you supply an upgrade you're now able to replace your 512x512 icon with an 1024x1024 icon.

  1. Click "Edit" next to "Version Information" of your new version
  2. Scroll down to the icon and press "Choose File"
  3. Select the 1024x1024 icon on your harddrive

The icon will look strange directly after the upload (at least it did in my case). But don't worry, just wait a few minutes and the glossy effect will be applied. I guess Apple's running a script to convert the image (or somehow create a preview of the image) only every 3 minutes or something like that.

Anything new on this topic? Anytime I try to upload a retina-icon, iTunes connect tells me "Large icons must be 512 x 512 pixels."

This seems a bit odd to me, since Apple clearly states, as Dennis mentioned, that it should be 1024 x 1024 for high-res devices.
