I'm trying to set the installer icon of an Adobe AIR application, like in the screenshot below:
but I cannot figure out how to do it. I've specified the icons in the app.xml but nothing is showing up. Any idea how to do this?
You have to include the icon images in the AIR packagee as well as reference them in the app.xml file. (Flash and Flash Builder should do this for you, but if you are packaging from the command line, it is easy to forget.) Make sure that they end up in the correct path within the package relative to the main app SWF or HTML file. I/e/ if you reference your icon as "foo/icon.png", it has to be in the "foo" subdirectory within the package.

I've been spinning my wheels on this subject for a few days. I have Xfinium PDF in a Xamarin.Forms application I'm working on and I need to generate a pdf in different languages. So I have different .otf files set up as a PdfUnicodeTrueTypeFont. Now this works in iOS no problem, but in Android the PDF is generated blank if I try to generate it in a language that needs one of these fonts. I also have lost the ability due some other things going on in my work environment to side load to android or debug in android at all.
Make sure the font is embedded in the PDF (either by looking at the file directly or using an application to get information on embedded fonts).
If the font is not embedded it's possible that Android is failing to fallback to another font for some reason. Does the PDF open correctly Chrome?
I'm quite new in iOS development and right now I'm watching tutorial videos. In them I see that every time a new project is created, Xcode suggests /home/Xcode as root destination where you can store your project. This folder has even a special icon with the Xcode logo on it.
On my Mac this folder is missing. I still can save the project elsewhere but even after re-installing Xcode that folder is missing.
Any idea how I can fix that?
The /home/Xcode folder is not the default location to store Xcode projects. The home folder is hidden by default on macOS so I suggest choosing a different folder to store your projects.
It does not matter where you save your Xcode projects. Save them wherever you want on your computer.
I set the icon as described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/12491626/67824 but it still shows as a generic app icon (grey screen with green "exec" text) in the dock and in the ⌘+tab application switcher (both when I run it from MonoDevelop and when I run it using mono foo.exe). I know it can be done, because when I run a mono-compliant version of LINQPad I'm seeing the LINQPad application icon.
I also use the SetIconFromFile method in the main window's class. Example below where my icon is copied to an Images folder at the root of my application:
this.SetIconFromFile(string.Format("{0}{1}Images{2}Logo.ico",
System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location),
System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar,
System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar));
I'm writing an OSX App and added an icon for it.
After building in Xcode, I can see the app with icon under Products folder, but when I RightClick->'Show in Finder', the built file is shown without icon. I want the built file to have an icon.
For Mac OS applications, you need to create an .icns file and include it in your Info.plist just like any other project.
Just change icon.png to icon.icns
When I submit an icon image for my app, I never add the .icns extension. It is automatically assumed by the compiler. So for the icon file "icon.icns", simply enter "icon".
I am an iOS developer and did my first Cocoa Mac application using Xcode 4.2, I set the Logo image in the xcode itself and property list, but the application logo still has its default logo (the white sheet with two pens), how can I set Logo for my application?
Design your 512x512 icon and save it as png file. Open Icon Composer (installed with Xcode in /Developer/Applications/Utilities folder) and drag your png file to it and save your icon as icns.
Now in Xcode open your project and select the target. Drag your icns file to the "App Icon" box. That´s it! Build and run again...
You should place icon (icns format file) Your project target -> summary -> drag n drop in App icon box.
you need a .icns file rather than a straight png to get the file icon. This is essentially a collection of images at different sizes that mac os can use for different jobs.
as of mountain lion, the Icon Composer isn't available. You can build your icns file on the command line from a bunch of scaled and named bitmaps, or you can use the simple utility I built to do the job!
