How do I configure app icons and launch screens in Xcode/Swift?

Configuring app icons and launch screens in Xcode for your Swift application is a crucial step in the app development process. Properly set icons and launch screens enhance the user experience and give your app a professional look.

Configuring App Icons

To set up app icons, follow these steps:

1. Prepare all the necessary icon sizes. You typically need icons ranging from 20x20 to 1024x1024 pixels.
2. Open your Xcode project and select the Assets.xcassets folder.
3. Create a new App Icon set by clicking the "+" button and selecting App Icons & Launch Images.
4. Drag and drop your icon images into the appropriate slots in the App Icon set.

Configuring Launch Screens

For the launch screen:

1. Create a new LaunchScreen.storyboard file in your project.
2. Add the desired views and layout for your launch screen using Interface Builder.
3. Ensure that your Info.plist file has a key called UILaunchStoryboardName set to your launch screen storyboard.
