There are multiple ways to do just about everything in XCode. Some people prefer to lift the curtain and understand what the preference dialogs are doing. Yes, you can change the icon in the dialog but knowing what that change does to the underlying file structure is valuable.

Far too many “programmers” only understand how to manipulate things via the dialogs and have no clue what those dialogs are doing. We should all understand what is going on under the hood. The more we understand the better our code lest we fall into the trap that some other languages suffer from.

Also, you can set the icon from the Properties pane (type the icon file name into the “Icon File” field) in the app’s target (cmd-opt-E), you don’t have to mess with XML.

I left my job in September of last year, learned Cocoa, just released my first app last month (http://hamiltonapp.com), and also worked with Jordan Langille - who I'd also highly recommend. I'm closing in a 1.1 release and just started working on some code and reading up on some new APIs for my second app. The articles & tutorials you guys have been writing here have been great! Thanks and good luck getting to 1.0!</p> <ul> <li>Steve</li> </ul> Matt,
