Overview

The KMP App Icon Generator Plugin is a Gradle plugin designed to simplify and automate the management of app icon resources across Android and iOS platforms in Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) projects. This plugin ensures consistent handling of icons for different platforms, streamlining your development process.

Features

• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Automatically configures and manages app icons for both Android and iOS platforms.
• Integration with Compose Resources: Supports composeResources for centralized image management within KMP projects.
• Automatic Updates: Automatically updates and syncs app icons whenever changes are made.
• Foreground and Round Icons: Generates both ic_launcher_foreground and ic_launcher_round icons for Android.

Getting Started

Installation

To use the KMP App Icon Generator Plugin in your project, add the following to your build.gradle.kts file:

plugins {
    id("io.github.qamarelsafadi.kmp.app.icon.generator") version "1.2.6"
}

Ensure that your project is using a compatible version of Kotlin and Gradle:

• Kotlin version: 1.9.0
• Gradle version: 8.0+

Project Structure

For the plugin to function correctly, you must place your base icon image as icon.png or icon.svg in the following directory exactly as specified:

my-kmp-project/
├── composeApp/
│   └── src/
│       └── commonMain/
│           └── composeResources/
│               └── drawable/
│                   └── icon.png
|                        or 
|                   └── icon.svg

• drawable/: Ensure that your file is named icon.png or icon.svg and placed in this directory. This file will be used to generate all necessary app icon resources.

Tasks

The plugin provides the following task:

• generateIcons: Processes and generates icons for all configured platforms.
