Changing application icons

There are two kinds of icons in this application. App icons - used as an application icons by macOS and icon on a banner notification, and default_icon used as an icon on a pop ups.
To change them, in Project Navigator select and right click folder Resources -> Assets.xcassets. Choose option Show in Finder as per screenshot below

open_assets_in_finder

Inside Finder you will see all the icons used by the app.

icons_in_finder

  1. To change app icon, replace all PNG files inside AppIcon.appiconset folder, with your custom icon files. The file names and resolution must be exactly same as the original files. For example file [email protected] must be named [email protected] and must have resolution 32x32 pixels.
  2. To change a pop up icon, replace file [email protected] inside Common -> default_icon.imageset folder with your custom icon file. The file name must be the same as the original file, and for best result we recommend keeping the resolution at 1024x1024 pixels
