justIcons 3 at Mac App Store analyse

* Create an icon set folder for macOS, iOS watchOS Xcode project all at a time *

The justIcons series is now more than four years old. Its been developed from a scratch in Swift. justIcons 3 supports both Xcode 8 and Xcode 9. justIcons 3 makes software development easier by letting you create an icon set (AppIcon.appiconset) out of a single image file for Xcode. Imagine that you have to create more than a dozen images if you develop a Universal iOS app. You need 18 images, actually, if you use Xcode 9. Itll take justIcons 3 just one image to create the entire icon set folder containing the json folder (Contents.json).

So how do you use this application to create an icon set for an iOS app? Drag and drop a file onto this, drag and drop a file onto that, drag and drop another onto what!? No. If you just want to create an icon set for a single iOS app, just drag and drop one image file onto the application window. Then turn on the iOS checkbox button and select iPhone only, iPad only or Universal from the drop-down menu to the right. And choose Xcode 8 or Xcode 9 from the development group box. And? Just click on the make icons toolbar button.
