Alternate Icon in iOS 10.3 (2 answers)

Closed 3 years ago.

iOS 10.3 comes with dynamic app icon changing feature. Developers will now be able to change app icons without an app update.

I want to change my app icon dynamically, how can i change my app icon programmatically.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, iOS 10.3 finally gives developers the ability to change their app’s icon programmatically.

It is possible to change appIcon from iOS 10.3. For that you need to set supportsAlternateIcon to Yes in info.plist.

Both primary and secondary icons should be added in CFBundleIcons key of your app's Info.plist file.

//Info.plist
<key>CFBundleIcons</key>
<dict>
    <key>CFBundleAlternateIcons</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Icon1</key>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
            <array>
                <string>alternater1</string>
            </array>
            <key>UIPrerenderedIcon</key>
            <false/>
        </dict>
        <key>Icon2</key>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
            <array>
                <string>alternater2</string>
            </array>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</dict>

To change App Icon following UIApplication method needs to be called:

Objective C:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setAlternateIconName:@"alternater2" completionHandler:^(NSError * _Nullable error) {
        NSLog(@"Error...");
}];

Swift 3:

if UIApplication.shared.supportsAlternateIcons{
        UIApplication.shared.setAlternateIconName("alternater2", completionHandler: { (error) in
            print(error ?? "")
        })
}
