In Xcode, how do I use a different AppIcon for each target iOS App?

Question

I have one Xcode project (in Xcode 6.1) with a 4 targets for 4 different apps that share a lot of the same source code.

I'm trying to have each one of them show a different app icon.

Going into Project > General > [select target] > App Icons and Launch Images, I see this:

But clicking on each AppIcon, I get to the exact same app icons - not the ones that I would like for each project.

Is this just a bug in Xcode? How can I use different app icons for different targets?

Answer 1

• Click on your already existing xcassets File, where you have defined the Appicons for your first target and add a new Appicon.:

• You can give the new Appicon a meaningfull name (In my case Appicon-Debug):

• Go to your targets and select the new target:

• choose the new AppIcon under General -> "App Icons and Launch Images" -> "App Icons Source":

• Clean the project and rebuild it.

Answer 2

1. Go to your app's Assets.xcassets and create a new iOS App Icon by clicking on the + button in the bottom left corner of target's section
2. Name it AppIcon-Test or Debug or whatever name suits you.
3. Go to xcassets folder and in the utilities panel allow target membership to both in the File Inspector View. Make sure the all target membership's are enabled for both AppIcon sets.
4. Select the target for which you want to change icon in the project settings. In "General" Scroll down to App Icons and Launch Images. Select your appicon set for the respective target in App Icons source

Happy coding :)
