At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced new customization options for app icons in iOS 18, allowing them to appear light, dark, or with a tint. A tinted version of your app icon will automatically be available to users after they upgrade to iOS 18. This feature is designed to preserve the design intent and maintain legibility, ensuring a consistent visual experience across the home screen. Developers can customize each version of their app icon to ensure it looks great in all appearances. Xcode now supports dark and tinted app icon variants that can be added directly into the asset catalog.
