Answer 2

Had been messing around with this for quite some time too. Don't forget to click on 'Validate Settings' at the bottom after you've checked the 'Prerendered' tickbox in the summary tab. And if you're deploying your app to the iPhone or iPad, make sure you delete the app first and then build it again. Otherwise your icons will still be the same.

Answer 4

Build configiuration setting needs to be an "iOS Device" (or any specific device if connected) to activate "Product → Archive" menu item. For some strange reason when any kind of iOS Simulator is selected, Archive is greyed out.
