    I just did a quick test. In my project I put the icon files in the main app directory, where main.m resides. They are called Icon.png and Icon@2x.png for the application icons, and Newsstand-Cover-Icon.png and Newsstand-Cover-Icon@2x.png

    The CFBundleIcons section of the *.plist file (found in the main app directory) looks like this:

    <key>CFBundleIcons</key>
<dict>
    <key>CFBundlePrimaryIcon</key>
    <dict>
        <key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
        <array>
            <string>Icon.png</string>
            <string>Icon@2x.png</string>
        </array>
    </dict>
    <key>UINewsstandIcon</key>
    <dict>
        <key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
        <array>
            <string>Newsstand-Cover-Icon.png</string>
            <string>Newsstand-Cover-Icon@2x.png</string>
        </array>
        <key>UINewsstandBindingType</key>
        <string>UINewsstandBindingTypeMagazine</string>
        <key>UINewsstandBindingEdge</key>
        <string>UINewsstandBindingEdgeLeft</string>
    </dict>
</dict>

    Other relevant sections of the *.plist file are set to this:

    <key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
    <string>newsstand-content</string>
</array>


<key>UINewsstandApp</key>
<true/>

    You may have to build and launch your app on the device a couple of times, before the icons appear on the Newsstand shelf.

    You can edit *.plist files with a text editor like TextWrangler (free), TextMate (paid), or MacVim (free).

    Hope this helps!
