Upgrading from v2.9.4, which had different icons for different templates, to v.2.9.5 I found that all templates have a generic cog wheel inspired icon, probably reflecting the fact that they are all generated by a script.
Small thing but I rather liked the custom icons that indicated what the script was doing.
Although the measures might be justifiable in this particular case, I can see reasons for a developer to stay away from the tight requirements Apple impose inside the App Store, sandboxing and all.
The day Apple pulls the plug on software purchased directly from the developers I will be looking for a new platform.
