App Icon

App icons represent your app in places such as the App Store, the Home Screen, Settings, and search results.

iOS Configuration

To display your app icon correctly across iOS devices, you must provide the required icon assets and configure them in your Xcode project. iOS uses different icon sizes for various contexts, such as the Home Screen, Spotlight search, Settings, and notifications.

Context

In Xcode, under VAMobile, navigate to the General tab to view the app icons configured for each environment. Within the App Icons and Launch Screen section, we can see that the following icon sets are currently in use: AppIcon, AppIcon-QA, and AppIcon-RC.
