You can also create Adaptive Icon for Android, which can display a variety of shapes across different device models ( Learn More).

PNG icon for IOS and Android (I highly recommend using an icon with a size of at least 1024x1024 pixels).

Anyone who is building a React Native app will eventually need to solve the issue of adding a React Native app icon to their mobile apps, prior to publishing them to the app stores.

A great app icon can improve your app install numbers and can boost daily active users if it’s attractively designed. The app icon is a critical component of a mobile app since it’s always exposed to users. And you could of course use a very similar script for resizing other app images that you might need for the standard/retina/iPhone/iPad screen resolutions.In this article, we are going to discuss the in and outs of the React Native App Icon for both iOS and Android.

This is a Windows batch file but you could easily convert it to a Mac OS shell script. You’ll need to have ImageMagick installed and on your path for this to work – ‘convert’ is a binary from ImageMagick. This can be very useful if you are using one XCode project to produce both a full and a lite version of your app. So if the tag is ‘Lite’ then instead of Icon.png, you get IconLite.png. In the second example a tag is inserted into the name. If the first example the icons will be generated from your iTunesArtwork image with the names previously listed. Or you can just drag the source image over the batch file. It gives them names that fit in with Apple’s old recommended icon naming conventions. It takes a source image and then resizes it into 8 different icons. I don’t have an art department and don’t have time (or the interest!) to optimise each icon so I just wrote a very simple script to do the resizing for me. If you work for a big company and have access to an art department they may well manually produce optimised version of each icon. The different icon sizes are described on Apple’s developer website here and here. There are also other sizes you can produce for Spotlight and Settings. The application icons need to be generated at different sizes for the old screen resolutions, retina display resolution and for iPhone/iPad screen types. But one area of iOS development that I found a little tedious whilst writing my Solar Balls game was producing Apple’s mandatory and optional icons, which need to be in a variety of sizes. The tools for writing iPhone software are really easy to use, and allow you to concentrate on the coding rather than on obscure configuration problems.
