New in Asset Catalog Creator 3.1.1 (Apr 15, 2018)

  • Fixed some oddities on the Launch Screen previews.
  • Changed the way the app handles adding images in 'Single Image Mode' to prevent a gradual build-up of dirt and grime.

New in Asset Catalog Creator 3.1 (Apr 11, 2018)

  • Introduces support for SVGs. Where possible these are converted into PDFs. This allows you to retain the original image's vector information in your app as well as prevent the need to manage separate @2x and @3x images.
  • A word of warning though, SVG is kind of the wild west of formats and some more exotic ones might not render exactly as expected.
  • Less interestingly, now instead of bugging you repeatedly with lots of little alerts to view my other apps you now just get one big alert when you close the app. Hopefully, you'll find this less distracting and easier to suppress.

New in Asset Catalog Creator 3.0.1 (Mar 12, 2018)

  • Fixed tvOS Game Center assets being locked.
  • Fixed a crash which could occur if image names ended with a 0 prefixed number i.e. MyFile05.png.

  • Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

  • You’re now able to use multiple image size variant inputs with the most appropriate size being picked for each dimension. For example, if you’re making an iMessage icon, which includes both a square and a rectangular image, you can add a square and a rectangular image into the inputs.
  • There’s a shiny new icon!
  • Support for Apple TV 4K assets.
  • There are even more preset image sizes. If you have any others that aren’t listed then please get in contact.
  • The app now launches with your previous image inputs (this may have been something that only bothered me).
