Re-branding can be achieved through the inclusion of customized assets and theme files that configure the application color settings. Image resources must be included on the application package to be distributed. You can either include theme files in the app package or download them from a remote URL.
Download sample graphic assets from here.
The sample graphic package includes the required images to be customized, also detailed in the List of Re-Branding PNG Images section below. Optional images are not included in the download.
Create the customized images.
The images used for application rebranding are normally provided by a Visual Designer.
Replace the images in the application package to be distributed. In the file system folder where the application package is located, replace sample images with rebranded images.
Re-sign the application.
The Branding folder in your file system must contain all re-branding resources. You need to store the customized images in the folder before SharePlus build is created, so that they will be included in the application package to be distributed.
Re-branding images include:
Application Icons, used in the Springboard, iTunes Artwork, device settings, Spotlight.
Splash screens, images displayed when first launching the app while the interface loads.
Passcode Lock headers, you can optionally change the Passcode Lock header.
When adding re-branding assets, some application icons are required and others are optional.
Required – Not including all the required app icons will result in a blank/black space within the app, affecting the application’s user experience.
Optional – These app icons may not be included, in which case the closest icons in size will be used instead. Note that these icons will be automatically stretched to match the required size.
In the tables below you will find the application icons, splash screens, and passcode lock images.
Important considerations on graphic assets:
All images must follow these general requirements:
No transparency, except the Passcode Lock header
72 dpi
PNG format
iTunes Artwork images must be named without the .png extension.
Required images are mandatory.
