I took the wonderful cordova-icon
project and de-coupled it from cordova. Icons just get generated into a folder that you specify and then you can do whatever you want with them
Automatic icon resizing for multiple application targets. Create an icon in the root folder of your Cordova project and use make-icons to automatically resize and copy it for all the platforms your project supports (currenty works with iOS, Android, Windows 10 and OSX).
$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick
$ # on Mac: brew install imagemagick
$ # on Windows: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows (check "Legacy tools")
$ sudo npm install make-icons -g
If you are using an older version of cordova (before 7.x):
$ sudo npm install make-icons@0.13.0 -g
- ImageMagick installed
- At least one platform was added to your project (cordova platforms docs)
- Cordova's config.xml file must exist in the root folder (cordova config.xml docs)
Create an icon.png
file in the root folder of your cordova project.
You can provide a platform-specific icon by naming it icon-[platform].png
(e.g icon-android.png
, icon-ios.png
).
Then run:
$ make-icons
You also can specify manually a location for your config.xml
or icon.png
:
$ make-icons --config=config.xml --icon=icon.png
If you run a old version of Cordova for iOS / Mac and you need your files in /Resources/icons/
, use this option:
$ make-icons --xcode-old
For good results, your file should be:
- square
- for Android and iOS, at least 1024*1024px
- for Windows, at least 1240*1240px
- Your
config.ml
file will not be updated by the tool (because images are automatically created in the good folders) - Therefore, in your
config.xml
, be sure to remove all lines looking like<icon src="res/android/ldpi.png" density="ldpi" />
Since the execution of make-icons is pretty fast, you can add it as a cordova-cli hook to execute before every build. To create a new hook, go to your cordova project and run:
$ mkdir hooks/after_prepare
$ vi hooks/after_prepare/make-icons.sh
Paste the following into the hook script:
#!/bin/bash
make-icons
Then give the script +x permission:
$ chmod +x hooks/after_prepare/make-icons.sh
That's it. Now every time you cordova build
, the icons will be auto generated.
