Glossy icon in app store

I noticed some apps in itunes don't have the gloss over their 57X57 icon, can you opt to not have that? Or do they decide themselves?

    You can opt to have it 'not appear'. here's the geeky way to do it:

    Basically, in your info.plist, you need to add a new row that is:

    UIPrerenderedIcon (ticked)

    I posted this yesterday but my internet was spotty and the post did not appear. :)

    I have the solution, but the forum keeps denying me from posting it, since yesterday... for some strange reason. :p

    Hope this post goes thru...

    The answer to turning off the auto gloss addition is here:

    Basically you need a new row in the info.plist that states

    UIPrerenderedIcon (ticked)

    the xcode projects you get back from gamesalad already have this row in there, just check it off and it won't be glossy

    Icon already includes gloss and bevel effects:

    I'm uploading a game right now, and the box is unchecked where it says: includes gloss and bevel effects.. so that means it won't have that right?

    no, you need to check that box to turn it off. leaving it unchecked tells Apple to apply the gloss.

    Also, why does my project size on the bottom right screen say 10.2mb and when I look at the file itself, it's larger? and when I zip it, it's still 11.0 mb!?
