    Hi! Thanks for this useful video. By the way, I hear many people keep on talking about iPhonezilax Secrets (do a google search), but I'm not sure if it is good. Have you thought about this step by step guide called iPhonezilax Secrets? I've heard some amazing things about it and my mate get his first iphone apps made without any programming experience at all with it, but he refuses to tell me: (

    Guys! In Xcode 4.2 You have to hover over "Information Property List" then click the plus button to create a new file. Start Typing in "Icon File" and the Icon File should come up.

    I'm struggling! I downloaded and ran xcode and I can't find the window your dragging things into or the library. Apple have changed it and messed it up. I have version 3.2.6 I found "interface builder" and ran it and viola my library window opened along with the window attributes and the window. My problem is I have 2 separate programs. Xcode and interface builder. When I save a file in interface builder I cannot open it in xcode therefore I cannot run it in the simulator. Please help!

    you don't need to make a 57 x 57 png icon. if you use any image file at any size it will automatically scale it down and round out the edges. just FYI =)

    Anyone who doesn't have the cash for photoshop, use Gimp. It's free and is easy to
    use.

    @vancar6 try to touch the screen of the iphone simulator with the mouse. Just like touching it with your finger. Then move your mouse exactly like the sliding of your finger to your left and your icon will appear.

    Thanks Bucky. Just learning iphone sdk here. Finding it tricky but these videos are great.

    How to PREVENT the gloss effect:

    In the appname-Info.plist file, press the little "add line" button.
    Type in "Icon already includes gloss effects" on the left, and then press enter.
    On the right, tick the box next to "Icon already includes gloss effects"

    Build and run…
    Icon no longer has gloss. Just untick to add gloss again.

    NOTE FOR ICONS – There are different sizes for iPhone 4/iPt 4th Gen, iPad and older iPhone/iPod touch models:

    114×114 – iPhone 4/iPod Touch 4th Gen
    57×57 – Older iPhone/iPt (as mentioned in video)
    72×72 – iPad

    For other sizes, including App Store, spotlight etc app sizes, go to goo.gl / ZmJw

    I like your style buckey…keep up the good work!

    Great tutorial. I like it very much!

    For those who complained about this tutorial, it's very easy to pick someone's mistake but it's hard for you to be creative and to create a good one like this.

    @leecravenaz looks like Apress aren't gonna do anything about your stupid bitching on here….other wise the videos would all have to be deleted off of youtube.

  19. magichristo Avatar

    @leecravenaz Actually the content of these videos is different. "CHAPTER FOR CHAPTER"? Not really.

  20. magichristo Avatar

    @leecravenaz and what do you mean illegal DVD rippers? These videos are produced by Bucky himself, you moron.

  21. magichristo Avatar

    @leecravenaz No he's not. Just because he goes on things from the book doesn't mean he's infringing the copyright laws. If he had copied the whole text and make it public, it would be illegal.

    By the way, the tutorials he makes are DIFFERENT from the Apress ones. Different subjects too.

  22. magichristo Avatar

    @leecravenaz Wow, you are really stupid. It doesn't matter shit who wrote it, just be glad that Bucky is making these VIDEO tutorials, they're easier to follow

    Bucky is a much better coder than you, he's done so much for the community, I bet you can't even code.

    @mahurleyproductions

    Im not a hater. It just happens to annoy me that everyone on youtube says ping. Go cool your head in the toilet.

    @vlogger3000

    True. I can't, and won't argue against it, because i clearly see your point.

  29. nonamerus Avatar

    @troglodyte3344 i think u just want attention or something to argue about

  30. linkfan22 Avatar

    @rax7 about the same. When I download an iPhone app onto my ipad the icon's a bit blurry.

  31. troglodyte3344 Avatar

    @nonamerus nah, youre just a big hypocritical fail

  32. nonamerus Avatar

    @troglodyte3344 no dude i didnt correct them i told them they were both half right-.- i never said they were wrong.stop trying to be a smart ass and learn how to interpret thing better

  33. rax7 Avatar

    does ipad use the same size icons as the iphone?

  34. Jacob Marquis Avatar

    or you can just name it "Icon.png" thats easier!!!

  35. OlloX3 Avatar

    @jackyboy575 It cannot be! Not ping but it could be PONG (POrtable Network Graphics)
    But still, it sounds wrong. P-N-G is best in my opinion.

  36. troglodyte3344 Avatar

    @nonamerus I've just read your post about people being obsessed with being right all the time and correcting others'

    Didnt you just do what your complaining about? so you must be referring to yourself as a fucking idiot? yeah.

  37. bullboy Avatar

    @hunhun14 you cant

  38. justin cash Avatar

    how do you make apps for the phone on a Windows operating system

  39. nonamerus Avatar

    Omg you fucking idiots there both acceptable names either PING OR P-N-G
    stop arguing about it aslong as u know what hes talking about ithats the point,ppl are obsessed with being right all the time and correcting others.
