After upgrade on iOS 15 the app has loss the ability to change alternate icon. I didnt found any changes in documentation.
How to set alternate icon on ios 15?
Claude31, thanks for your answer.
• This is part of info.plist with icons parameters:
<key>CFBundleIcons</key>
<key>CFBundleAlternateIcons</key>
<key>aero</key>
<key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
<array>
<string>aero</string>
</array>
<key>UIPrerenderedIcon</key>
<false/>
</dict>
</dict>
<key>CFBundlePrimaryIcon</key>
<key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
<array/>
</dict>
</dict>
<key>CFBundleIcons~ipad</key>
<key>CFBundleAlternateIcons</key>
<key>aero</key>
<key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
<array>
<string>aero</string>
</array>
<key>UIPrerenderedIcon</key>
<false/>
</dict>
</dict>
<key>CFBundlePrimaryIcon</key>
<key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
<array>
<string></string>

</dict>
• No, supportsAlternateIcons property is set to false on ios 15.
What could be wrong?
I could not check your info.plist structure, butI'm surprised not to find primary icon at top level.
Have a look here, it explains in details

How did you check ?
Did you provide all icon sizes required ?
have also a look at this old thread on the forum:
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/676555
I tried to check whether the project supports changing App icons, but the console shows supportsAlternateIcons is false.
When I created a new demo to test, I found that regardless of whether CFBundleIcons is added, supportsAlternateIcons is true.
Same environment, same main thread.
So I think Apple should explain under what circumstances supportsAlternateIcons will be false, and how developers should adapt it?
