genicon: A command line tool for generating icons for macOS/iPhone apps.

This tool wraps imagemagick to provide a convenient utility for generating macOS/iPhone app icons that conform to Apple's standard. You should feed it a large square image (>= 1024x1024), or (preferrably) an svg file, and get all appropriate sizes plus a proper json index in a AppIcon.appiconset folder, which can be directly copied into the Assets.xcassets folder in your Xcode project.

Usage

Type genicon or genicon -h in terminal:

  $ genicon

Requirements
