Dear PhoneGap Build Support,
I am at the final stage of submitting my app for review to the Apple App Store. However, the iOS Application Loader is failing with the following error when I try to send my .ipa from PhoneGap Build:
ERROR ITMS-9000: "Missing required icon file. The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPad of exactly '72x72' pixels, in .png fomat." at SoftwareAssets/SoftwareAsset (MZItmspSoftwareAssetPackage)
I have triple-checked that my config.xml correctly lists the path to my 72px iOS icon PNG. I even regenerated the PNG thinking it might have been corrupted somehow. Still no luck. I wondered if filenames and directory paths to the icons needed to match your documentation exactly: still no luck.
I am using the latest version of Xcode 5.0, which contains the Application Loader (it is no longer a separate install). And running the latest OS X (Mountain Lion).
So, I'm wondering if this is:
1. something wrong with my PhoneGap Build set-up?
2. a bug in PhoneGap Build's iOS .ipa?
3. a bug in Xcode/Application Loader?
Can you disclude options #1 from this list? I would like confirmation that my config.xml is OK and that my iOS .ipa does indeed contain the 72px icon (I don't know how to check this). My project is located here:
https://build.phonegap.com/apps/54580...
I have separately filed an Apple Bug Report to see if the problem is with Xcode/Application Loader.
Many thanks! I was excited to learn about PhoneGap Build and I'm still hoping this will get the job done for uploading our app to the App Store.
Cheers,

Thanks anyways @Red2678: I've seen that post. but it is unrelated because it's about the new iOS7 icon sizes: 76, 120, and 152. My post is about the 72px icon file (pre-iOS7 requirement). While Application Loader gives me WARNING messages about the iOS7 icons missing (76, 120, 152) (even though I've included them in my PhoneGap Build), it only gives me a failure ERROR about the 72px icon (which, again, *should* in theory be in my PhoneGap Build release). And my understanding from other posts is that PhoneGap is working on an iOS7 release soon. But that may have no impact on this 72px icon ERROR.

See here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/i...
I do not see a 72px size listed. I know it is in the PGB docs at 72px, but currently PGB does not support IOS 7, so I do not think they have updated the docs.
PS - I used this free PSD layout to make my new icons....

You are pointing me to iOS 7 documentation. Those are the new sizes (76, 120, and 152), as I've stated above. pre-iOS 7 icon sizes differ (https://developer.apple.com/library/i...), and if you want to support pre-iOS 7 devices you still need to support the old icon sizes (including 72px)... as evident by the fact that I cannot even successfully upload my app to the Apple App Store using Application Loader without it--a bug, apparently, since I've included the 72px icon file, which is why I have submitted this ticket in hopes of help.

Gosh, I had not yet gotten to this with 3.0 / IOS 7 (the submission process that is), but I am now getting to experience the same issue....moreover I should have read your post first, albeit a quite lengthy one, before I posted :]
Anyway, thanks for posting! Hope this get addressed soon...

Hi PaclOOS,
We had issue on "Application loader" few days ago which resulting from the Mac OS X version error unsupported architecture.
This could not be a general issue, I will gladly investigate this problem as soon as possible  and revert back to you.
Thanks

I randomly run in to this every time I run builds. I often have to rebuild the iOS app multiple times until it works. I've run in to this for at least the last two months. Yesterday it took me 6 rebuilds to get past the 72px icon missing error.

Could you elaborate on "I often have to rebuild the iOS app multiple times until it works"? I am running into this issue currently, and I have it correctly in my config.xml

Getting the same problem here.
If I dig into the IPA file with 7-Zip, all of the icon and splash screen PNG files appear to be truncated. They all start off with the right signature (%PNG) but are smaller in size than the originally included images. And when opened with an image viewer, they are the right dimensions but all black.
I'm also noticing that on subsequent builds, these PNG files are different sizes.
I wouldn't think that the build process would need to do anything to these PNG files (images used in the code itself is unaffected), but maybe something is happening to them during this process?

Following rules 1 and 2 from http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/... solved this issue for me...
1) Remove < icon src="icon.png" / >
2) Define iOS icons before other icons

Hello everyone, sorry for being late. The solution to this problem is to use the following code:
This tricks the PhoneGap build compiler into building the iOS 6.1 icons as well as the 7.0+ icons, which the application loader requires.
<preference name="deployment-target" value="6.1" />

@Aidan,
in future, don't follow on with two year old posts. Start a new thread.
FWIW: There are looking into this right now. Retry you build in the next hours. If success, respond here. Else, new thread please.
TIA
Jesse

But problem was never solved... I would think it valuable to keep all who are interested involved in subsequent ideas/solutions

the problem was never solved for you because you do not ask for help. You "follow on" expecting people to read your post. In practice, your "follow on" is being ignored.
If you have any unsolved issue, start a thread.
