Creating an iPhone / iPod Touch Icon for Your Site
March 6th, 2008
As of the iPhone 1.1.3 update, users can save a bookmark to the desktop of their iPhone or iPod touch. Creating this icon is similar to creating a favicon. You create a file, save it to the root directory of your site, and the iPhone takes care of the rest.
- Create a 57×57 image in your favorite image editor
- Save it as a PNG (not ico!)
- Name it “apple-touch-icon.png”
- Upload it to the root of your site
- Test it in your iPhone
- Relax on the beach and call the bankers to tell them where to put the wheelbarrows of cash your clients will throw at you just because this is so damn cool.
Step #6 is not guaranteed.
