I downloaded this tool because I was extremely frustrated with the extensive and very confusing way of adjusting app icon sizes. Before, I used Pixelmator, but that took a good hour and I constantly messed up. This amazing app resolves all of those issues, and even submits the edited image sizes into Xcode! This costs $2.99 but WELL WORTH the money. This takes 1 MINUTE instead of 1 hour. Very helpful… dont hesitate to download.

Description
App Icon Tool is an intuitive Mac app that creates app icon files in all the sizes you need, and effortlessly imports them into your Xcode project.
• Open Large Image
Open your large app icon image file in App Icon Tool. For best results, it should be 1024x1024 or larger.
• Drag and Drop
If you prefer to drag and drop your files, you can of course do that too. And you can use copy and paste.
• Save Generated Icons
App Icon Tool saves all the resized app icons files for the selected targets (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, CarPlay, Mac, Messages) to a directory of your choice.
• Meaningful Filenames
The generated image files are named to match the icons needed by Xcode. No more guessing of what file goes where.
• Save to Xcode
Save all app icons directly to an asset catalog in Xcode. No more tedious and error prone dragging of files into Xcode.
The Save to Xcode feature requires an in-app purchase to activate.
• Up-to-Date
App Icon Tool creates all the necessary app icon sizes for iOS 10 and Xcode 8.2. Including all the icon required for Messages app / Sticker packs, and the new app icon size for iPad Pro. Of course it also generates app icons for all older versions of iOS, as well as for Mac apps.
• View Icon in Context
You can view your app icon in the context of an iPhone / iPad home screen or the App Store and Messages App Store using the options in the View menu.
• Iterate Quickly
If you are iterating on your app icon and you quickly want to see what your changes look like in different icon sizes then you can do this: Load the source image once, leave App Icon Tool running and make changes to the image in your image editor. App Icon Tool will automagically recognize when the source image changes and reload the updated image. Save using Cmd+S to quickly update all the resized images in the output directory.

Best tool for creating app icons!
Easy to use
I have tried a dozen different apps and websites to generate my app icons. Ive finally settled on App Icon Tool as my preferred app. Since I dont have the need for new app icons every week, I needed an app that is very easy to use so I dont waste time having to learn something from scratch each time I launch it. With this app I just select the source image, check a couple of obvious boxes, and then save directly into Xcode. Done. Also, this is the only app that Ive found so far that generates icons for the iPad Pro.
