# makeappicon

Open source alternative to [makeappicon.com](http://makeappicon.com/) to generate all icons for your iOS Apps. This module generates all ios icons with a single command and produces a drag and drop ready `AppIcon.appiconset`!
## Requirements
- [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) to install packages on MacOS
- `gm/covert` binaries in your `$PATH` as [explained here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17756587/installing-graphicsmagick-on-mac-os-x-10-8). On MacOS, run the following:
```bash
brew uninstall imagemagick graphicsmagick libpng jpeg
brew cleanup -s
brew install graphicsmagick
```
## Usage:
Fire up a terminal and type:
```bash
npm install -g makeappicon
```
Create a 1024x1024 png image and execute the script as such:
```bash
makeappicon --base-icon pathToBaseIcon.png
```
That takes the icon file and generates all the images that you need into the `AppIcon.appiconset`
directory. Open XCode, open your `Images.xcassets` pane and delete the default AppIcon entry, now drag and
drop the entire `AppIcon.appiconset` directory into that pane and you should be good to go! Build your app
and you should see your new icon all over the place.
## Troubleshooting
### gm/convert binaries can't be found
If you get a message saying "this most likely means the gm/convert binaries can't be found", refer to Requirements.
