Checking whether an exported iOS IPA really carries its app icon: assetutil on Assets.car (the bundle PNGs are CgBI and won't decode)

When App Store Connect shows no icon after an upload, check the IPA before blaming the asset catalog. Unzip it and run xcrun --sdk iphoneos assetutil --info Payload/App.app/Assets.car. You should see a 1024 px AppIcon (the one ASC extracts), and Info.plist should have CFBundleIcons.CFBundlePrimaryIcon.CFBundleIconName. The loose AppIcon60x60@2x.png in the bundle is Apple-optimized CgBI PNG, so ordinary image decoders fail on it; that failure doesn't mean the icon is missing.
