Apple is asking developers to include iOS 7 compatible icons when submitting apps for approval, reports 9to5Mac.
Since iOS 7's icons are slightly larger and have a different corner radius, some icons for iOS 6 do not display properly leaving white areas around the edges, notes the report.

For the iPad, iOS 6 icons are at resolutions of 144 x 144, and on iOS 7 they come in at a resolution of 152 x 152:
