Create iOS application icons from one PDF file. Requires ImageMagick.

# Iconizer shell script by Steve Richey ([email protected])

# This is a simple tool to generate all necessary app icon sizes and the JSON file for an *EXISTING* Xcode project from one file.
# To use: specify the path to your vector graphic (PDF format) and the path to your Xcode folder containing Images.xcassets
# Example: sh iconizer.sh MyVectorGraphic.pdf MyXcodeProject
#
# Requires ImageMagick: http://www.imagemagick.org/

This works great for us - thanks!

You need one more icon size now for the iPad Pro - add 167 to the list. The idiom is "ipad" and the scale is "2x".

You can install the dependencies for this script on a Mac by running:

brew install imagemagick
brew install ghostscript

Thanks for this, saved me a ton of work!
I incorporated forked changes from @crishoj and @giria plus a few tweaks of my own here: https://gist.github.com/richellis/09ccd6060d4e7ac7717d8767a2e27d39

Includes:

• iPad Pro support
• Dependency checks
• Comment about Ghostscript dependency
• Tips to install with Homebrew
• Newline formatting in the JSON-generating code for better readability

In current Xcode (8.3.2), Images.xcassets has been renamed to Assets.xcassets
Additionally, I suggest removing the ./ before $2 to allow for absolute paths

Thx for sharing
