How to create custom Document Icon in iOS 14 apps

0 votes

I am trying to create a custom document icon for my multi-platform (iOS 14 - macOS Big Sur) app.

So, for macOS, it's pretty easy, I can either attach a legacy icon, or better, supply a combination of background, image and text, to composite a document icon, as described in macOS Document Icon Human Interface Guidelines.

So, in Info.plist, the UTExportedTypeDeclarations would contain a UTTypeIcons key like the following:

        <key>UTTypeIcons</key>
        <dict>
            <key>UTTypeIconBackgroundName</key>
            <string>Icon Fill</string>
            <key>UTTypeIconBadgeName</key>
            <string>Icon Image</string>
            <key>UTTypeIconText</key>
            <string>Dapka</string>
        </dict>

Now, the real challenge is in the iOS document icon. First, there are no updated documentation. Second, I couldn't do it like I did with macOS. Here, I should only supply one image, so I uploaded it as PNG in Resources folder, and then modified the UTExportedTypeDeclarations in Info.plist as following:

        <key>UTTypeIconFiles</key>
        <array>
            <string>Document Icon</string>
        </array>

But, the icon didn't appear correctly, it appeared as a centered image with white background, and no text.

Any ideas?

Tap Add to Home Screen and select the icon next to your shortcut under Home Screen Name and Icon. In the pop-up window that appears, select File, Photo, or Take Photo. You can crop an image to customize what will show, but happily, the image needn't be square or a specific size. Tap Add > Done.
