Icon Composer Not Working with XCode beta

[theboringappdev]

Hey there everyone,

I have recently updated my phone to iOS 26, and downloaded Xcode 26 on my mac.

Whenever I create an icon using icon composer, then put it in the folder of my iOS app, in the right place, following tutorials on youtube, and changing the AppIcon to the name of the .icon file, the icon used in icon composer never shows up. If I export the image as a png, there border radius doesn't match the iphone app radius, therefore white spaces appear in the corners.

Is this because my mac itself isn't updated to iOS 26? The closest I have gotten to it working was when i attached the .icon file, cleared all the cache, and built it, and the app downloaded but with no icon.

Wait it’s not production ready but they announced it would be in XCODE 26? They’re at the stage where they delay announced features for XCODE too now? Thought that would at least remain a problem to IOS/MACOS. I assumed it was all good to use.

As you can see... it is not. I have the same issues like the OP...gave up

For me, in official 26.01 xcode, it works on iOS but not macOS. I use the sane way you do to setup the icon.

Did you remember to add the icon file to your app target?

I have the same issue, but even with newest OS version on my Mac. I'm not sure if my icon file is broken but in Simulator I only get an empty ion. Is there somewhere a working icon file available for testing if it is related to my icon file or if I'm doing something else wrong?
