Icon for App Bundle

[axisdj]

Hello Group

I cannot get the icon for the bundle to show

the icns file is in the Contents/Resources directory, I can open it on a mac and it shows all the resolutions 16,32,128,256,512

I have specified it in the info.plist file as:
   <key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
   <string>theIconName.icns</string>

I just cannot get it to show?

Well.. that was frustrating.

It appears the .app folder needed to be moved in and out of a .dmg for the icon to show up.

how horrible, all was correct in plist and the incs file were correct.

MacOS sure is a challenge

Finder caching the app icon is documented - see the Wiki article Adding an icon to your app bundle.

There's plenty of helpful code examples and hints available in the Wiki - start at the Mac Portal.
