Apple app icon dimensions for iOS

For a current iOS or iPadOS asset catalog, Xcode can derive smaller icon variations from a single 1024 × 1024 px source. The familiar home-screen sizes below are useful preview targets, not a requirement to upload each PNG to a new project.

Exported files

Our ZIP puts one 1024 px PNG and Contents.json in AppIcon.appiconset. Xcode can generate smaller variants. This export does not include separate dark or tinted icon artwork.

  "images": [{
    "filename": "AppIcon-1024.png",
    "idiom": "universal",
    "platform": "ios",
    "size": "1024x1024"
  }],
  "info": { "version": 1, "author": "xcode" }
}

Integrate and test

1. Download the iOS ZIP and locate iOS/AppIcon.appiconset.
2. Back up your existing Assets.xcassets. Copy AppIcon.appiconset into it, replacing or renaming the old set deliberately.
3. Select AppIcon as the target's app icon. Build and inspect the installed app; configure any custom dark or tinted variants separately in Xcode.

Check small-size readability

Examples include 180 × 180 px on an iPhone home screen, 152 × 152 px on iPad, and 167 × 167 px on iPad Pro. Preview the symbol at these sizes even when Xcode generates them.
