@config-plugins/react-native-dynamic-app-icon

Consider using expo-dynamic-app-icon instead for both iOS and Android support.

Config plugin to auto-configure react-native-dynamic-app-icon when the native code is generated (npx expo prebuild).

Versioning

Ensure you use versions that work together!

expo	react-native-dynamic-app-icon	@config-plugins/react-native-dynamic-app-icon
52.0.0	1.1.0	9.0.0
51.0.0	1.1.0	8.0.0
50.0.0	1.1.0	7.0.0
49.0.0	1.1.0	6.0.0

Install

This package cannot be used in the "Expo Go" app because it requires custom native code.

First install the package with yarn, npm, or npx expo install.

npx expo install react-native-dynamic-app-icon @config-plugins/react-native-dynamic-app-icon

After installing this npm package, add the config plugin to the plugins array of your app.json or app.config.js. Then rebuild your app as described in the "Adding custom native code" guide.

Example

In your app.json plugins array:

{
  "plugins": [
    [
      "@config-plugins/react-native-dynamic-app-icon",
      ["./path/to/image.png", "https://mywebsite.com/my-icon.png"]
    ]
  ]
}

Or as objects:

{
  "plugins": [
    [
      "@config-plugins/react-native-dynamic-app-icon",
      {
        "AppIcon1": {
          "image": "./path/to/image.png",
          "prerendered": true
        }
      }
    ]
  ]
}

Note: Icon URLs will be downloaded and embedded at build time, you cannot push new icons OTA.

Usage

In list format, icons are named after the item index ('0', '1', '2'), they can be changed like AppIcon.setAppIcon('2') (from the package react-native-dynamic-app-icon).

This isn't tied to react-native-dynamic-app-icon in any way, so any method of swapping icons works.
