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.
