This icon shows up properly when the app is on the phone itself, but it doesn\'t show up in the applications pane in

Answer 1

The application icon only shows up in iTunes if your app is distributed through the app store.

I assume you are asking about a developer or ad hoc build. Those get the default black "A" icon.

Answer 2

I'll just add my recent experience. I had fooled around trying to get my ad hoc app to show up in iTunes with an icon (strictly, iTunesArtwork). Finally, I was convinced I had followed the instructions to a 'T' but it still wouldn't show up in the grid view. However, my artwork was properly displayed in the Cover Flow view. I deleted and reinstalled my app from/to iTunes to no avail. Then I quit iTunes and restarted - and, voila! - my artwork was correct in all places. It appears there is some kind of caching that is not reset in Grid view.
