Step 1: Create Icons using Icon Kitchen

1. Go to icon.kitchen: Visit - icon.kitchen

2. Upload the base image

• Upload a high-quality image (preferably 1024x1024 pixels) for your app icon.

3. Customize icons

• You can configure the icon appearance, padding, and background color as needed. Choose between "iOS", "Android", or both, depending on the platforms you want to target.

4. Download the assets

• Once the customization is done, click on the download button to get the icon files in a .zip format. The file will contain the icons for both iOS and Android in the correct sizes.

Step 2: Replace Android Icons

1. Unzip the icon files: Extract the downloaded files

2. Locate the Android icons

3. In your Flutter project directory, navigate to the Android app icons path

• android/app/src/main/res/

3. Replace icon files

1. In the extracted folder, you will see various - subfolders like

• mipmap-hdpi
• mipmap-mdpi
• mipmap-xhdpi
• mipmap-xxhdpi
• mipmap-xxxhdpi

2. Copy the icon files from these folders and replace the corresponding ones in your Flutter project’s

• res/ directory.

4. Update AndroidManifest.xml (if necessary)

Ensure that the correct launcher icon is referenced in your AndroidManifest.xml. This is usually located in

• android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml Check for the following line:

  <application
  android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" />

If you used a different name for the icon, update the android:icon attribute accordingly

Step 3: Replace iOS Icons

1. Locate the iOS icons

In your Flutter project, navigate to the iOS icons path

• ios/Runner/Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset/

2. Replace icon files

• In the extracted folder from icon.kitchen, you will find an AppIcon.appiconset folder for iOS.
• Copy all files from this folder into your Flutter project’s ios/Runner/Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset/ directory, replacing any existing files.

3. Update -Info.plist (if necessary)

Ensure your Info.plist (found at ios/Runner/Info.plist) correctly points to your new icon set:

• <key>CFBundleIconName</key>
• <string>AppIcon</string>

Step 4: Clean and Rebuild the Project

1. Clean the project

• Run the following command to clean the project: flutter clean

2. Rebuild the project

For iOS: flutter build ios

3. Run the project

flutter run

Splash Screen setup

To add or change a splash screen in a Flutter app, follow these steps for both Android and iOS platforms.

---

Step 1: Install flutter_native_splash package

The easiest way to create a splash screen in Flutter is by using the flutter_native_splash package.

1. Add the flutter_native_splash package to your pubspec.yaml file:

   dev_dependencies:
     flutter_native_splash: ^2.2.18

2. Run the following command to install the package:

   flutter pub get

---

Step 2: Configure Splash Screen

Configure the splash screen by adding settings to your pubspec.yaml file under the flutter_native_splash section:

flutter_native_splash: color: "#ffffff" # Background color of the splash screen image: assets/splash.png # Path to your splash screen image android: true # Enable splash screen for Android ios: true # Enable splash screen for iOS web: false # Disable for web (optional)

Step 3: Add Splash Screen Image

• Add your splash screen image to the assets folder of your project. If the folder doesn't exist, create it.

1. Place your image inside the assets/ folder: assets/logo.png

2. Declare the asset in your pubspec.yaml file:

       flutter:
       assets:
           - assets/logo.png
   
   

Step 4: Generate Splash Screen

Run the following command to generate the splash screen configuration for Android and iOS:

• flutter pub run flutter_native_splash:create

To remove any change :

• flutter pub run flutter_native_splash:remove

Step 5: Testing the Splash Screen

Clean the project to ensure there’s no cache interference: flutter clean && flutter run
