# apple-app-icon — the icon as a build artefact, not a drawing On iOS 26 an app icon is no longer a flattened PNG: it is a small bundle of **layers** the system lights, tints and renders as Liquid Glass. Icon Composer draws them by hand; this skill generates the same document from the brand artwork, so the icon is *rebuilt* when the brand changes rather than redrawn from memory. Reach for it when the icon and the app disagree — different mark, different gradient, or nine PNGs whose source nobody can find. ## Workflow ### 1. Find the real artwork before drawing anything Two attempts went the wrong way on one project before the file turned up: rebuilding the mark from the app's own button geometry (beautiful, and a different mark), then tracing it off a 1024 PNG by measuring pixels (the right mark, at second-hand accuracy). ```bash find ~ -maxdepth 7 \( -iname "*logo*" -o -iname "*icon*" \) \ \( -iname "*.svg" -o -iname "*.ai" -o -iname "*.sketch" \) 2>/dev/null mdfind -name "logo" # useless if Spotlight is off — check `mdutil -s /` ``` Look in abandoned web projects and old zips; a Figma export usually survives somewhere even when the designer's archive link is dead. **What you want is one artboard, already composed**: the mark on its tile, with the background gradient in a `<linearGradient>`. That file is the source of truth — copy it into the repo (`Resources/logo-source.svg`) so the icon has a provenance. ### 2. Generate ```bash python3 "${SKILL_DIR}/...
