It looks like in version 4.0.2 of Xcode this UIPrerenderedIcon has to be boolean and you need to type Yes, the check box is no longer available.

I had this working fine in the older version of xcode but after updating to 4.0.2 my icon was rendered with the effect, even though this value was set correctly. i had to delete it and add it again to get it to work correctly.

Perfect!

I just created a new line, selected “Icon already includes gloss effects”, and checked the box. (it was automatically a checkbox, not YES/NO).

My icon looks 100% better now. :) Thanks for posting!

Yeah, i didnt realize the became outdated,
after reInstalling the app, and using:
| UIPrerenderedIcon | YES |

It worked, thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the post, found this though Google. I was just making all the icons on my iPhone 4 high resolution, and I needed to be able to turn off the gloss.

And by the way, unlike what Md12 mentioned above, do not use a boolean, you must use a string with the value “YES”.

It seems that depending on the version of Xcode you are using, the list of options vary. I’ve had to manually enter values as well. As long as you know it’s an option, you’re half way there :)

I don’t see either option listed in the choices for new key value (listed as raw values or not) when editing the info.plist in Xcode 3.2.2. I can type UIPrerenderedIcon by hand but this gives me an uneasy feeling because the rest of you seem to see it in the list.
