This year, the Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) have been updated with new icon templates and best practices for adapting your icons to various appearances. Specifically, the guidelines now support dark and tinted app icon variants, which can be directly integrated into your asset catalog in Xcode. This ensures that your app icons and widgets look their best across different visual experiences on iOS 18.
