Customizing the app icon for your React Native project can enhance the visual appeal of your application. This guide will provide you with a straightforward method to add icons to both iOS and Android platforms.
Setting Up Icons for iOS
For iOS, you need to configure the AppIcon in the Images.xcassets folder. Here are the required icon sizes you need to add:
- 29pt
- 29pt*2
- 29pt*3
- 40pt*2
- 40pt*3
- 57pt
- 57pt*2
- 60pt*2
- 60pt*3
Setting Up Icons for Android
For Android, place your ic_launcher.png in the following directories:
mipmap-hdpi: 72×72mipmap-mdpi: 48×48mipmap-xhdpi: 96×96mipmap-xxhdpi: 144×144mipmap-xxxhdpi: 192×192
You may also want to add round icons. This can be done by adding ic_launcher_round.png in each mipmap folder, or by removing the round icon reference in your AndroidManifest.xml file.
Automating Icon Generation
To streamline the process, consider using a tool like @bam.tech/react-native-make. This tool allows you to generate all necessary icon sizes from a single base image. Here’s how you can use it:
yarn add @bam.tech/react-native-make
react-native set-icon --path --background --platform This method simplifies the process by eliminating dependencies on external tools and directly integrates with your React Native CLI.
Conclusion
By following these guidelines, you can efficiently add customized icons to your React Native app, enhancing its overall user experience.
