A detailed guide from Apple on how to adapt an icon for the upcoming OS. All the work around the new icons is itself a strong design case. They reimagined and significantly changed their existing tool. Icon Composer is now a tool that supports layers and shows how the future icon will be rendered in different conditions. Through it, in a couple of clicks, you can prepare an asset for all platforms. Without messing around in Photoshop The new Icon Composer is available together with the new Xcode You simply throw the component parts of the icon into it, twist the appropriate parameters, and see how it will be. For us it is noticeable: making the flash transparent can produce beautiful colored shadows from the flash on the background. But the flash itself becomes dirty - transparency does not suit it Video about the concept of the new icons and possible adaptation options Video about working in Icon Composer Download the Xcode beta here
