It is update season for iOS and Android applications with new versions of the operating systems being released. Today, I was on my way to push out a new version of the Xamarin Live Player to Test Flight users and hit this nasty error:
Missing Marketing Icon. iOS Apps must include a 1024x1024px Marketing Icon in PNG format. Apps that do not include the Marketing Icon cannot be submitted for App Review or Beta App Review.
What is that?!?!? I swear I uploaded the icon to iTunes connect. Well... I did, but that wasn't the issue! It is this new silly icon that is in the assets library that you must include.

So, let's head into the assets library and find this little hidden icon:
Just like that, we can now actually send out our app to testers and to the app store! Silly Apple :)
