Hello Everyone,

I am sort of new to Mac developement and I have a question that is probably very simple. How do you add an icon to be placed on your build target in xcode 1.5. I spent several hours last night going through various menues and options in xcode. I looked at apple's documentation and they copy o'reilly text that says find the application settings page. I know that the application settings page used to exist in old versions of project builder, but where is this feature now. I also searched the idevgames forums for this topic.

I AM FRUSTRATED! (>_<)

Thanks for any help.

I'm not 100% sure if this works in Xcode 1.5, but in Xcode 2.x, you take the following steps to set your icon file:

1. Select your target from the Groups and Files list.
2. Click the Info button in the project window toolbar to open the target's information panel.
3. Click the Properties tab in the information panel.
4. Enter the icon file's name in the Icon File text field. You must also add the icon file to your project.
   

That should more or less work for XCode 1.5. I remember doing it that way back when I was still using that version. You may have to rebuild your project if you don't see the icon right away and maybe have to log out and log back in.

Hello,

Thanks for the replies. I will try that out later tonight.

Hello,

I finally got around to trying out that solution. Unfortunately, I do not have a properties tab in the target info window. Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Arkanix


I guess it may be time to update to Mac OS 10.4 and xcode 2.0+.

Poke around. Xcode 1.5 should have it.

You may not have a native target. Try double-clicking the target in the Groups and Files list. If the target isn't native, a large window will open instead of an information panel. If this window opens, find the Application Icon setting, which is in the Info.plist Entries section. From there you can add your icon.

If you have a non-native target and want to make it native, select the target and choose Project > Upgrade To Native Target.

All I needed to do was double click the target. I guess I should have known. Thanks Mark that was what I needed.

Thank you everyone for the help.
