Would it be possible for Xojo to automatically generate the icons needed for iPhone/iPad apps?
I wrote a little tool to do this. I give it a 2048x2048 png, and it outputs all the needed icons. I then drag them into to icon page in the app. This has worked well as I try to make nice “blocky” icons.
This would be optional: If you need to hand-craft the icons, that could still be done.
Sounds like you’re unaware of Extras>iOS Utilities>iOSImageMaker.
That’s a nice idea but not really the optimal way to make icons. Just scaling will inevitably get you a blob of mud at the smallest resolutions.
Usually you have a highly detailed icon at 1024x1024 and each smaller icon has less and less detail (and possibly removed elements) so they don’t get blurry.
Art,
Am unaware. Thanks for the tip.
Greg,
That’s why I mentioned that I try to make “blocky” icons. Simple, large shapes, few colors. They reduce well.
