Featured

Generates an app icon for macOS or iOS — a fast CoreGraphics placeholder and/or flat layered source art to finish in Icon Composer (the Liquid Glass / iOS 26+ standard). Produces appearance variants (light/dark/tinted) and installs into the asset catalog. Use when the user wants to create, generate, iterate, or update an app icon.

# App Icon Generator Generate an app icon programmatically with a CoreGraphics Swift script, resize it to every required size, and install it into the Xcode asset catalog — with appearance variants (light/dark/tinted). ## Read first — the Liquid Glass era (iOS 26 / macOS 26) > **Apple icon standards verified as of July 2026** — Icon Composer, Xcode 26, macOS Tahoe 26.4+. This guidance is static (the skill does no per-run web lookup); if that date is well in the past or the OS has moved on, re-verify against the [HIG · App icons](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/app-icons) before trusting the specifics below. Apple's shippable icon format changed. On iOS 26 / macOS 26 the modern app icon is a **layered, light-responsive Liquid Glass icon** authored in **Icon Composer** (free; ships with Xcode 26, needs macOS Tahoe 26.4+). You supply *flat* artwork in up to **four depth groups** (background → foreground); the **system renders the glass** — specular highlights, refraction, translucency, shadows — and masks the rounded-rect shape. One `.icon` file adapts across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch and across **Default / Dark / Mono (tinted)** appearances. **So this skill does NOT produce the final iOS 26 icon.** Icon Composer is GUI-first; no script can author a true layered `.icon`. Its two honest roles are: 1. **Placeholder** — a fast flat 1024 PNG so early builds, TestFlight, and screenshots feel real before you invest in the real icon. 2. **La...

solo-apple-app-icon

Build an iOS 26+ layered app icon (.icon / Icon Composer) from a designer's SVG, generated by script rather than drawn by hand, and check every appearance without launching the app. Use when the user says "иконка приложения", "сделай иконку", "app icon", "Icon Composer", "layered icon", "иконка не как в фигме", "тёмная иконка выглядит плохо", or when an app still ships a folder of flattened PNGs. Do NOT use for in-app icons and SF Symbols (that is symbol work), or for the App Store screenshot set.

apple-appicon

Generate Apple platform app icons (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS) from one source image, with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines as the north star and first-class Tauri support. Validates the source first — square aspect, >=1024px, alpha, sRGB/P3, 8-bit — then generates AppIcon.appiconset (with dark/tinted variants), .icns via iconutil with Apple's rounded-rect margins for legacy macOS, visionOS layered image stacks, and Tauri's full icon set including the dock-icon margin fix. Dependency-free on macOS (sips, iconutil, Swift/CoreGraphics). Use for "generate app icons", "app icon from this image", "make an .icns", "AppIcon.appiconset", "tauri icon", "dock icon looks too big/square", "App Store icon". Roadmap: Flutter, React Native, Ionic.
