Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2017-02-03T00:33:37Z] <dereckson@tin> Synchronized static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png: Update apple touch icon for Wikipedia (T152538) (duration: 00m 39s)

@Nirzar just verified this myself by adding Wikipedia to my home screen but will leave for you to check and sign off.

Why icon is 144x144 and not 180x180 by the way?

https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/graphics/app-icon/ recommends 180x180 for Retina displays.

the icon is still old probably due to caching issues.

https://www.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png

any way we can resolve that problem?

@Nirzar can you reply to @Dereckson comment above?
@Krinkle can you help me understand how caching works in the static directory (varnish seems to be caching the old asset) and how to remedy that/or how long it will apply for?

@Dereckson The icon is 160x160, you need 180 x 180 for 3x retina displays. 160 works for 2x and 2.5x i think there was only size concern but if you feel it's worth having 180, we can create follow up task. it's just keeping up with top tier density is painful. tomorrow apple will have 4x retina and they will update that page.

@Dereckson should have purged that as part of SWAT procedure. In general, cache maxage is upto 7 days.
