Hey all,
I am a first time publisher navigating the App Review process. I want to publish a watchOS only app, but keep getting this feedback:
Regarding 4.0, Apple Watch app icon's background color is still black. Based on our investigation, you have included plain black icons. To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to modify your app's Apple Watch app icon to include a lighter background color to ensure that it is recognizable and appears circular on Apple Watch.
I set the following configs:
Project -> Targets -> Apple Watch App -> App Icons & Launch Screen -> App Icon set to my Icon Composer file. Checked App Icons Source.
I was able to install my build through TestFlight and successfully install on my watch, and the App Icon displays properly there.
I also saw a recent Reddit post from another developer facing the same issue. I can't link that post, but will share this post with the OP.
I attached what the reviewer sent me with the rejection.
