Any tips to get an icon to show up in the dock on macOS? I've got the image in my Assets.car — lots of sizes! – and the name is set correctly in my plist's ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME. Not sure what else I need to do.

I've also got an AppIcon.icns, but I understand that's not used anymore. #SwiftUI #macOSDevelopment

@tewha What macOS version? In my playing it looks like AppIcon.appiconset is still used for Sequoia while a AppIcon.icon file is used for Tahoe. I created the .icon file for testing in Tahoe but didn’t remove the old .appiconset.

Perhaps this is because I didn’t change something in my .xcodeproj file.

@marchyman I'm on Tahoe. No AppIcon.icon. I'll add that next, I guess? I kinda can't make head or tails of how I'm supposed to use Icon Composer to generate dark/tint icons. Thanks.

@marchyman It'll take me a while to do this right, but adding a crap AppIcon.icon got the dock displaying it. Thanks!
