Xcode needs to be installed (Crunch uses a tool provided with Xcode to convert correctly the iOS png images). Make sure that Xcode is installed and check the “PNG Crush Tool” Settings in the Application Preferences by choosing Crunch > Preferences. You can download Xcode 4 from the Mac App Store for free.

  • New:

  • Pressing the Enter key in the apps browser exports the selection.
  • The sound played at the end of an export (defined in the Preferences) is disabled if the export takes less than 10 seconds.
