just tested this out on the app store and it works.

When compiling your app, make sure it is your first time compiling the app, and insert the icon as a 114x114 icon. If you compile your app for the first time with the high res icon and submit that binary to the app store, the icon will be displayed as high res on the app store

If you have already compiled the app before that was not the binary you submitted to the app store, simply make a duplicate of your project, and compile it once with your 114x114 icon and submit that binary

Once again, I tried this and now my icon is showing as high resolution on the app store

    I thought that 114x114 icon is to be displayed only on iPhones, and the bigger 512x512 icon is for the App Store. Or am I wrong?

    Yes thats correct

    A 114x114 is a high res icon, and is supposed to look really nice on newer devices, but some people were having trouble where If they uploaded a 114x114 icon it still came out blurry, so I am just trying to clear up that issue

    Oh, I understand know! I just was a little confused, when you wrote about app store :)

    When you go to republish your app, GameSalad will autofill the publishing panel with a 57x57 icon, even if you selected a 114x114 icon the first time.

    Just make sure you reselect the 114x114 icon each time and it will work fine.

    @FMG, Well when I was beta testing, I made an adhoc with a 114x114 icon. First time it worked like a charm. Then I made a second build, changed the icon once again to 114x114, but this time when I downloaded it onto my device it showed it as blurry even though I only built it twice, both times changing the icon image to 114x114. So to be safe, I would submit the binary from your first build of the app
