Answer 1

I had the same problem with an unwanted gloss effect using xCode 5.0. I went through all posted answers. Here is what worked for me:

1) Remove "Icon Already Includes Gloss Effects" from Info.plist. I did this because, although this is set to "YES", which should work properly -- for whatever reason, it wasn't working, so I wanted to remove it before adding the correct code.

Here's how to do it: Click your project name in the navigator (left column) > then in the Editor (middle column) click info. In the field that states "Icon Includes Gloss Effects", click the minus "-" button to delete. This removes the code that is not working, so you will start with a clean palette.

2) Open your Info.plist file -- In the Navigator (left column), find the info.plist file then (Right Click > Open As > Source Code).

3) Your code will look like this:

    CFBundleIcons

    CFBundlePrimaryIcon
    
        CFBundleIconFiles
        
            Icon-120
            Icon-72
            Icon-57
        
    

Now copy the following 2 lines of code, because you will paste them into the code above:

     UIPrerenderedIcon
        

Your final code should look like this:

    
    CFBundlePrimaryIcon
    
        CFBundleIconFiles
        
            YourIconFile
        
        UIPrerenderedIcon
        
    

This is the best answer I can provide. Worked for me.
