    Answered: Icons specified twice? (app.js and packager.json)


    Why are the app icons specified twice? Once in app.js:

    Code:
        icon: {
        57: 'resources/icons/Icon.png',
        72: 'resources/icons/Icon~ipad.png',
        114: 'resources/icons/Icon@2x.png',
        144: 'resources/icons/Icon~ipad@2x.png'
    },
    and then again the packager.json specifies an icon:

    Code:
        "iconName":"resources/icons/Icon.png",
    Which is used when & by what tools?

    The icon config in Ext.application would be used if you launched your web app in mobile safari and then added it to the homescreen, this config would state what icon to show there. The iconName in packager.json would be the icon for that native app.

    I still get that strange behavior with these homescreen icons.
    For some reason they seem to show up properly for older iPhones and iPod Touches.
    For the new iPhone 4S and the new iPad they just wont show up properly. A little screenshot of the app will be displayed instead.

    Any hints why this could act like that?
