To support Dark Mode app icons, you can follow these steps:
-
Automatic Tinting: In iOS 18, app icons and widgets can automatically appear in light, dark, or tinted versions. A tinted version of your app icon will be available to users after they upgrade to iOS 18. This treatment is applied to all app icons and is crafted intelligently to preserve your design intent and maintain legibility.
-
Customization: You can ensure that your app icon always looks great by customizing each version. The Human Interface Guidelines have updated icon templates and best practices for adapting your icons to these new appearances.
-
Xcode Support: Xcode now supports dark and tinted app icon variants that you can drop right into your asset catalog.
