To make tintable icons, developers need to follow these steps:
- Human Interface Guidelines: Refer to the updated icon templates and best practices in the Human Interface Guidelines to adapt your icons to the new appearances.
- Xcode Support: Utilize Xcode, which now supports dark and tinted app icon variants. You can drop these variants directly into your asset catalog.
This ensures that your app icons and widgets look their best across different modes and provide a consistent visual experience.
