Do I need to add a gloss effect to an iTunesArtwork file?

Question

For our app, we have a flat icon which we do want the OS to add a gloss effect to, so we have not set the UIPrerenderedIcon flag in our Info.plist. We've got a larger version for our iTunesArtwork file, which is a PNG. Do we need to add a gloss effect to the iTunesArtwork ourselves, or will the app store do it for us?

Answer 1

The app store will do it for you, you don't need to apply the gloss.

Answer 2

Your iTunesArtwork will get the gloss effect automatically if you set the UIPrerenderedIcon flag.
