If I use a png file with transparent background as the app icon in iOS4, the compiler will change its background to black. How can I preserve its transparency?
A:
Did you specify
UIPrerenderedIcon YES
in your plist file? The standard effects would make the transparency useless...
I think transparent icons are discouraged, and I think you might have a hard time making it through the review (that is, if it is technically possible at all).

I've tried, UIPrerenderedIcon will only convert the transparent part to dark...

Xcode 3.2.3 I get my transparent part colored black regardless of UIPrerenderedIcon is True or False.

Agree. It's impossible and not been allowed by Apple. This is by design. They don't want any other outline of app icon except rounded box.
