Application Icons<br />
Each mobile platform and often different versions of a particular device OS have<br />
different requirements for application icons. A developer building PhoneGap applications<br />
for multiple device platforms will need to be prepared to create a suite of<br />
icons for their application that addresses the specific requirements for each target<br />
device platform and/or device OS. The PhoneGap project maintains a wiki page<br />
listing the icon requirements for the different supported operating systems at http://<br />
wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/36905973/Icons%20and%20Splash%20Screens.<br />
Additionally, for some devices on some carriers (older BlackBerry devices, for<br />
example), the mobile carrier applies a specific theming to the OS in order to help<br />
distinguish themselves in the market. Any application icon designed for one of<br />
these devices will need to accommodate, as best as possible, rendering pleasantly<br />
within different themes.
