0.10 generating blurry app icons

[KrauseFx]

Ugh, sorry to hear that, does it work fine for 0.9.0 and 0.8.0? Could you check that for me please?
Thanks :)

Hi Felix,

It seems that every version above 0.6 does not work. I edited the Pluginfile for each version like so:

gem 'fastlane-plugin-appicon', '0.7.0'

once with 0.7.0, 0.8.0 and 0.9.0

then I ran bundle install which shows that the plugin changes the version correctly. Like:

Using fastlane-plugin-appicon 0.9.0 (was 0.6.0)

other gems are not changed, only the plugin.

After running our lane bundle exec fastlane build_icon I checked the Assets in Xcode which updates accordingly and shows the blurry icons.

Example Screenshot for the iPhone Notification iOS 7-11 20pt preview in the assets catalog:

0.6

0.7 - 0.10

I hope you can see the difference here in this small image :)

@pschneider I've done a big improvement on the way images are generated on 0.7 that may have affected the quality. In our tests at Menvia we could not see any difference but I can use your own icon and example to test it. Can you share the source icon with me?

[pschneider]

@felipeplets Sorry for the late reply, some things came up on the weekend.

Unfortunately I can't give you the original icon but it is reproducible with just the tyre. See my attachment. I get the same effect when comparing 0.6 vs >=0.7

Hey @pschneider, thanks for this, could you try completely uninstall and re-installing imagmagick? Also, it might be worth trying a different Mac to see if it has anything to do with the environment

Getting the same issue here. Commenting out image.define("png:exclude-chunks=date,time") in appicon_action.rb fixes it. 🤔

Hi,
we are experiencing the same issue with the latest version (0.13.). Is there an easy workaround? Will this be addressed at some point?

I also noticed this.

Update 1: I've found that when using a .jpg instead of a .png as source image, the icon is perfectly fine.
Update 2: First update got me thinking about the alpha setting, passing remove_alpha: true also fixes it for me! - even with the .png.

Same problem here, very big difference when compared to xcode's own handling:

I've worked a lot with image processing in CMS's and I've never heard of graphicsmagick before, but I've had very good experience with imagemagick (which, btw, is used by badge as well. Could that be something to consider?

Experiencing the same, but this doesn't help.
