I believe the answer is yes. It looks like I might. I have:
<key>CFBundleIconFile</key> <string>resources/ring-maker-logo.jpg</string>
In my .plist and that does not work.
I see two issues with your plist file:
1. Paths should be case-sensitive, and a bundle keeps its resources in the "Resources" sub-directory. 2. You only need to specify the name of the icon file itself, since it's assumed that the icon will be found in Resources.
I see IconComposer.app canot do it.
If your icon has some transparent areas, though, JPEG isn't the ideal image format since it doesn't support image transparency. Something like TIFF or PNG would be better starting points.
