I created an app for iphone and in my project plist settings I set UIPrerenderedIcon to true. Meaning apple shouldn’t put that nasty gloss over my icons. Now when I uploaded my app for review and created a large 512×512 pixel icon it put the gloss over it. Check this link for my app.

Now if you download my app, which I encourage smile, you will see that the icons that get displayed on the iphone have NO gloss on them yet this big preview picture of my app shows gloss. What gives?
Now here’s the confounding thing, I created another app and its large 512x has no gloss

The setting of plist file for both the projects are identical as far as I can tell.
Apple has fixed this bug in their itunes store. (fix was sometime in Jan/Feb 2012)
