  "textContent": "Every time I ship an iOS app I end up re-looking-up the icon sizes, so here's the complete 2026 reference in one place — plus the part nobody tells you up front.\n\n##  App Store\n\n  * **1024×1024 px** — the required master. With a modern Xcode project this is often the _only_ size you need to provide (see the shortcut below).\n\n\n\n##  iPhone\n\nUse | Points | @2x | @3x\n---|---|---|---\nHome Screen | 60pt | 120×120 | 180×180\nSpotlight | 40pt | 80×80 | 120×120\nSettings | 29pt | 58×58 | 87×87\nNotifications | 20pt | 40×40 | 60×60\n\n##  iPad\n\nUse | Points | @2x\n---|---|---\nHome Screen | 76pt | 152×152\niPad Pro Home | 83.5pt | 167×167\nSpotlight | 40pt | 80×80\nSettings | 29pt | 58×58\nNotifications | 20pt | 40×40\n\n**Rules:** square PNG, **no transparency/alpha** , and no rounded corners (iOS masks them automatically).\n\n##  The shortcut nobody mentions\n\nSince Xcode 14 you can drop a **single 1024×1024 PNG** into a \"Single Size\" `AppIcon.appiconset` and Xcode generates every other size at build time. You rarely need the full legacy set anymore — but it's still there if you want pixel-perfect control per size.\n\n##  iOS 18 / iOS 26 dark + tinted icons\n\nNewer iOS also supports **dark** and **tinted** icon variants (and the \"Liquid Glass\" look in iOS 26). You add extra 1024×1024 variants in the asset catalog and iOS handles the rest.\n\n##  Full reference + tools\n\n  * The complete guide — every platform including Apple Watch + macOS, with copy-ready values: **https://iconbundlr.com/blog/ios-app-icon-sizes-2026-complete-guide**\n  * A free interactive size calculator: https://iconbundlr.com/tools/icon-size-calculator\n\n\n\n_Disclosure: I build IconBundlr, an AI app-icon maker that generates an icon from a text prompt and exports the whole`AppIcon.appiconset`. I basically turned the reference above into a tool — but the table's the table, so copy it wherever you need it._",
