Icon Composer is a new app bundled with Xcode 26, designed to help create sophisticated, multilayered icons that work across multiple platforms and software versions. It is not available in lower versions of Xcode. If you are using a version of Xcode earlier than 26, you will not have access to Icon Composer. You would need to upgrade to Xcode 26 to use this tool.
