    How many Icons do I actually need to launch an Iphone game and Ipad version too?

    And what about splash screens?
    Many thanks

    icons:
    icon.png (57x57) you need at least this one
    [email protected] (114x114) for retina device
    icon-72.png (72x72) for iPad

    also, you need to include these icons in your info.plist

    oops forget the splash screen:
    default.png
    [email protected]
    default-ipad.png

    for the ipad version, you need to specify the filename in your info.plist too.

    Ok, but you should be the one creating all the itunes connect thingy. You should be the one managing all the financial and marketing part.

    In Xcode4 we didn't have to name the splash screen "Default.png" anymore.
    We just added it to a predefined place in a window with any name. In the dev build it worked how it should be. We also didn't get any errors by building the appstore version.

    And as Ovogame said: you are crazy, if you let the 3rd party programmer manage your iTunes Connect.

    How the hell did you even provide Apple banking infos and such?

    Got that sorted the banking

    Do you think they will redirect profits or something?

    You are the one, who's bank account is used. You are the one, who's name is there as a seller.

    First of all, you don't want a stranger having access to your banking data and for all the legal and sale stuff and statistics.

    They can easily change the bank account to theirs and you don't get a penny.

    All legal responsibility is yours, because you are the seller. Do you really want a stranger mess around with your name and your reputation?

    You absolutely want to handle iTunes Connect by yourself and nobody else should have access to it. Believe me.

    Sorry if I am rude, but it is common sense and if you let somebody else manage your account, you are simply out of your mind.

    What if you make an app, which sells million times? Do you think, they will tell you if you have no access to your account at all? They disappear with your money so quick, you can't look so quick.

    I know, I would... :D

    Get the access, change the password and learn how to upload apps.

    If your app is finished, the programer should send you an appstore build with the source code together and you can upload it.

    He should have nothing to do with your itunes connect account.

    If you think, you can't upload yourself, because it is complicated (it is not), then make him a "technical" account and he has access only for uploading, but no access to sales data and banking info and such sensitive stuff.

    OK points taken and appreciated a lot!

    I am sure you lovely people will help if needed with UM, uploading instructions if Ido not set up the technical account:D



    THis is why I look to hire people in a company so usually they will not do this sort of UM, things.
