Icon Composer: Unable to Submit App to App Store Connect After Adding iOS 26 App Icon

Hello,

I added a new iOS 26 app icon created with Icon Composer (named AppIcon) to my app, while keeping the previous version's icon (in Asset Catalog format, also named AppIcon).

However, I found that once the bundle contains the Icon Composer icon file, the app cannot be submitted to App Store Connect.

I received the following App Store Connect errors:

ITMS-90022: Missing required icon file - The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '120x120' pixels, in .png format for iOS versions >= 10.0. To support older versions of iOS, the icon may be required in the bundle outside of an asset catalog. Make sure the Info.plist file includes appropriate entries referencing the file. See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/user_interface.

ITMS-90023: Missing required icon file - The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPad of exactly '152x152' pixels, in .png format for iOS versions >= 10.0. To support older operating systems, the icon may be required in the bundle outside of an asset catalog. Make sure the Info.plist file includes appropriate entries referencing the file. See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/user_interface.

ITMS-91111: Missing app icon - Include a large app icon as a 1024 by 1024 pixel PNG for the 'Any Appearance' image well in the asset catalog of apps built for iOS or iPadOS. Without this icon, apps can't be submitted for review. For details, visit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/configuring-your-app-icon.

Environment: Xcode 26 beta 3

Thanks for filing FB18987592. In case you haven't experimented with this yet, Icon Composer will also output icons compatible with prior versions of iOS, so you aren't required to keep the asset catalog icon to support older iOS versions.
