When you are using Xcode to make an iPhone app, how do you change the app's icon? Right now my icon for my app is just plain white.

Create a 57x57 PNG file and import it into your project bundle. Then open the .plist file that is included in your project and edit the value for the key "Icon File" to match the name of the icon you provided (CFBundleIconFile is the actual key, but the Xcode editor will display the nicer name for you).

Thanks! Im new to Xcode so I'm not too good at it ):

Anytime. You might want to look over Apple's developer documentation at http://developer.apple.com/iphone/ - they have a wealth of information about working with Xcode and deploying iPhone applications.

Ok I'll try that. Thanks.

If you don't specify the icon in the Info.plist file, then Xcode assumes that a file named "icon.png" in your resources folder is the icon for the application.
