I find it hard to believe that every developer creates their icons manually in various different ways but if that is the case, that is fine. I was wonder what the standard was for creating iOS icons (home screen icons, etc.)

Apple do have some guidelines for creating icon of app. Via:

Doing some search, you'll find a lot of article talking about icon making experience. Such as:

And here's a tutorial on making icon:
