As you can see, there are several images prepared for the icon. These tags are commented appropriately and
represent the many possible iOS devices that could be running your application. When preparing an icon, it's best
to design it large, and then save it in the appropriate sizes that are listed above. Figure
12-3
shows the icon that was
prepped in a variety of sizes for the Fakezee home screen app.
Figure 12-3.

The icon will appear in a few locations. The first is in the modal screen that appears when the user selects the
