I'm using OSX's Notification Center APIs for the first time and can't seem to figure out how to make my app's icon to show up in the Notification badge.

The default "your app doesn't have an icon" icon keeps showing up:

Here's what I've done so far

  • I have created an icns file that includes 512, 256, 128, 32 & 16px versions
  • dragged the icon into the "App Icon" section of the target's summary
  • I made to sure to check the box to copy the icon into the project
  • the plist's "Icon file" section references the correct icon name (minus the .icns) part

Any ideas? The icon doesn't show up when I run the app thru Xcode or when I export an archive either.

I also have extracted the Sparrow.icns file from Sparrow.app and tried using that one instead of the one I made. That didn't work either.

I was able to fix this issue by incrementing the Build number in the General section for the build Target.
