It sure does look good, but sometimes it just doesn’t suit your icon. It can be prevented by editing the Info.plist file. It’s easy! Follow me.

iphone_app_01

Click on one of the lines to make the little plus icon appear. Click the plus icon to add a new line.

iphone_app_02

Give it a key name of UIPrerenderedIcon.

iphone_app_03

The value is by default set to String, but we need to change it to Boolean. Right-click the newly created line, choose Value Type > Boolean.

iphone_app_04

The value has now magically transformed into a check box.

iphone_app_05

Click it!

And you’re done. It’s as easy as that.
