AIR Image Scripts

These scripts are helpful to generate the required icons (including Assets.car) and the iOS launch storyboard.

The script takes several optional parameters:

• [optional] path to the icon image to use as the base, we suggest a 1024x1024 pixel image (defaults to icon.png);
• [optional] path to the launch / default image to use as the base, we suggest a large 2732x2732 pixel image (defaults to launch.png);
• [optional] colour to use to fill background when required for default images
  • in the format: "#RRGGBB";
• [optional] output path for the files. You can use this to point to the assets output folder of your application (defaults to out);
• [optional] path to an alternate icon image which will be added as the AlternateIcon, we suggest a 1024x1024 pixel image (defaults to icon-alt.png);

Installation

The script uses imagemagick to resize the images so you need to have this installed.

brew install imagemagick

This needs to be at least version 7

It also uses Xcode tools to create the Assets.car from your images. You need Xcode and then can install the build tools with:

xcode-select --install

We recommend using Xcode 15 currently

Examples

generate.sh icon.png launch.png "#ff0000" 

generate.sh icon.png launch.png "#ff0000" out icon-alt.png

The default:

generate.sh

uses:

• icon: icon.png
• launch: launch.png
• no background colour
• outputs to out
• alternate icon: icon-alt.png
