How to get the current application icon in ios

Question

Is there a way to get the current application icon in a cocoa-touch app? Thank you.

Answer 1

This is how the icons is set inside the info.plist,

//try doing NSLog(@"%@",[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary]);

 CFBundleIcons =     {
        CFBundlePrimaryIcon =         {
            CFBundleIconFiles =             (
                "icon.png",//App icon added by you
                "icon@2x.png"//App icon in retina added by you
            );
            UIPrerenderedIcon = 1;
        };
    };

If you want to get the app icon use below code:

UIImage *appIcon = [UIImage imageNamed: [[[[[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"CFBundleIcons"] objectForKey:@"CFBundlePrimaryIcon"] objectForKey:@"CFBundleIconFiles"] objectAtIndex:0]];

P.S: UIImage automatically picks the suitable icon for retina display.

I hope it helps!!
