Modifying the app icon

The Spotfire Deployment Kit for Apple iPad app uses image asset catalogs for the app icon. You can change the app icon that appears in the home screen on the iPad.

Perform this task in the copy of the DeploymentKitApp in Xcode on your computer.

Prerequisites

You must have the images for the new app icon that are the same point size as the corresponding default images.

Procedure

  1. In the Xcode Navigator, open Images.xcassets.

    Images.xcassets in the DeploymentKitApp

  2. In the editor window, in the left pane list, click AppIcon.
    The AppIcon pane appears, displaying the default icons.

  3. Drag and drop the icon image files (.png format files) for the appropriate size matching that of the placeholder area for each 1x and 2x region.
    The point size given is for both the width and height of the 1x icon image, so the 2x version is double the size listed.
    • 1x specifies non-retina display.
    • 2x specifies retina display.
    Tip: Alternatively, you can use the Xcode Asset Catalog, which automatically adjusts the resolution of the image.
