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

Because it took me a little while to work out, here is a working Swift solution.

let primaryIconsDictionary = NSBundle.mainBundle().infoDictionary?["CFBundleIcons"]?["CFBundlePrimaryIcon"] as? NSDictionary
let iconFiles = primaryIconsDictionary!["CFBundleIconFiles"] as NSArray
let lastIcon = iconFiles.lastObject as NSString //last seems to be largest, use first for smallest
let theIcon = UIImage(named: lastIcon)

let iconImageView = UIImageView(image: theIcon)
