cordova-icon

Automatic icon resizing for Cordova. Create an icon in the root folder of your Cordova project and use cordova-icon to automatically resize and copy it for all the platforms your project supports (currenty works with iOS, Android and Windows 10).

Installation

 $ sudo npm install cordova-icon -g

Requirements

• ImageMagick installed (Mac: brew install imagemagick, Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install imagemagick, Windows: See here)
• At least one platform was added to your project (cordova platforms docs)
• Cordova's config.xml file must exist in the root folder (cordova config.xml docs)

Usage

Create an icon.png file in the root folder of your cordova project. You can provide a platform-specific icon by naming it icon-[platform].png (e.g icon-android.png, icon-ios.png). Then run:

 $ cordova-icon

You may specify the output path and directory as follows:

# output to path/to/res/icon
$ cordova-splash --resource-path path/to/res --icon-dir=icon

WARNING: If you were using a previous version of cordova-icon and expect the generated files to be in their respective ./platforms path, do not use the --resource-path mode:

$ cordova-icon

Also if you want to generate icons for an old XCode project structure, use this option:

$ cordova-icon --xcode-old

This will override the -p and -i settings.

For good results, your file shoud be:

• square
• for Android and iOS, at least 192*192px (512*512px recommended to be future-proof)
• for Windows, at least 1240*1240px

Creating a cordova-cli hook

Since the execution of cordova-icon is pretty fast, you can add it as a cordova-cli hook to execute before every build. To create a new hook, go to your cordova project and run:

$ mkdir hooks/after_prepare
$ vi hooks/after_prepare/cordova-icon.sh

Paste the following into the hook script:

#!/bin/bash
cordova-icon

Then give the script +x permission:

$ chmod +x hooks/after_prepare/cordova-icon.sh

That's it. Now every time you cordova build, the icons will be auto generated.
