Replace icons with nicer ones for all resolutions

[qbunt]

@gabek could these be SVG?

[gabek]

@qbunt Good question, but sadly no. They need to be supported natively by iOS and the asset catalog. But PDF is a good option since one size can be provided and all of the resolutions will be generated at build time.

Here's a good overview on using PDFs with image sets. https://icons8.com/articles/how-to-use-vectors-in-xcode-7/

@gabek I'd be happy to get you the appropriate icon set based on Google's material design. Three sizes per icon?

[gabek]

@noahfeder Awesome! Three sizes (The base size, @2x, and @3x). The alternative is one image that's a PDF and Xcode creates the three images at build time. It's a handy alternative.

While I think Google's material design looks great, it is very Android distinctive. iOS icons are often a little thinner and less often filled in. I found a nice comparison here: https://blog.dropsource.com/whats-different-when-designing-apps-for-ios-or-android-99648738206b#.kmnb3gtgb (scroll to the Icons section).

Are you able to get the project up and running to test the new icons and see how they look? I'm happy to help.

Sorry for the slow response. I'm new-ish to XCode, having only really used it for a React Native project, so this error is throwing me for a loop when I try to build/run the Example app.

Use Legacy Swift Language Version” (SWIFT_VERSION) is required to be configured correctly for targets which use Swift. Use the [Edit > Convert > To Current Swift Syntax…] menu to choose a Swift version or use the Build Settings editor to configure the build setting directly.

@noahfeder Oh no! Hopefully we can figure this out.

Make sure you're on Xcode 8.0, as that has the implementation of Swift 3 that we require to run the project.

Are you able to pod install from the Example directory?

Thanks for taking care of this, @funky-monkey!
