038 - Icon Composer

Your app icon looks too big or gets stuck in macOS Tahoe's "squircle jail"? Here's how to fix it properly using Apple's Icon Composer, straight inside your Xcode project.

In this quick walkthrough, I show why so many app icons end up oversized in the dock (they skip the safe area and get dropped raw into Xcode assets), and the cleaner workflow: drag the Icon Composer file directly into your project so you can edit it in place, commit it to Git, and always ship the latest version. It renders perfectly on Tahoe and scales down correctly for older macOS versions too.
