Create iOS Icons

Apart from iTunesArtwork & iTunesArtwork@2, the names of the icons no longer matter as they are saved as AppIcon as part of Assets.xcassets these days.

Via ./create_ios_icons.sh

List of required iOS Icons

Note

Apps distributed via ad-hoc distribution may also include a 512 x 512 pixel version of their icon in the CFBundleIconskey. The name of this file must be iTunesArtwork (with no file extension). The high resolution version of this icon should be 1024 x 1024 pixels and have the name iTunesArtwork@2x (also without file extension). Do not include this icon in your app bundle if you are not distributing your app via ad-hoc distribution.

convert -background lightblue -fill blue  -font Helvetica -size 160x160 label:A  -trim  a.jpg
convert -background red a.jpg  -gravity center -extent 160x160 a_.jpg

What we did was:

convert -background red temp.jpg  -gravity center -extent 160x160 a.jpg
display a.jpg
