Can I use SVG for app icon and splash screen? for both ios and android

I was wondering if it's allowed to use a large SVG images like icon.svg & splash.svg, and let the OS scale it as it wishes to the corresponding size?

And if yes, for which OS?

And would this be considered a bad practice?

AFAIK, not natively supported by android. Android Visual Studio allows converting to SVG to PNG at design time.

Third party libraries for Android which allow using svg graphics at run-time:

Few years ago I tried them, but there weren't quite accurate. Maybe have been fixed by now.

On iOS the answer is no, you can't use SVG images for either the icon or the splash screen. You need to use a PNG for both.
