Question

Can someone explain me or link - I have 512x512 icon but I have no idea what icons sizes I need to create and how to add them in to my iOS app. What sizes I need and how to add them, and for what?

Answer 1

Question was asked a while back but the answer changes from time to time. Here are a few web tools that are updated with the latest requirements and get the job done:

Drag and drop the .xcassets folder that they return into your xcode assets catalog and it should populate your app icons as you need them.

Answer 2

Download Asset Catalog Creator Free from iTunes. All you have to do is select a base image, and the program will create all required iOS icon sizes for you and place them neatly in an .xcassets file, which you can simply drag into Xcode without worrying about the sizes/resolutions of individual icons.

Answer 3

Specific name doesn't matter's any more for ios icon. All you need is perfect size.

I have created this application which will provide you all the icons based on information provided here. Get the application from here, and follow the instructions in readme file to create all the required icons for iOS application.

Answer 4

In the current 5.x xCode version you can use app icon set (AppIcon.appiconset). In the picture you can see where you can found it. Here is online tool, Icons Master, which will take care how icons should be big naming convection as well.

Answer 5

Ive put all the images named correctly at the correct size into a github repo, so there can be no confusion.
