The PSD file provided by Apple doesn’t make sense to me. It doesn’t seem to "simulate" how iOS actually displays the icon design. What’s even worse is that the Figma template and the PSD template output different simulated icons. Currently, on iOS 18, our app’s icon is "magically" handled correctly in all modes without me having to update the icon file. (It has a white background and two colored circles: one blue and one red.) In dark mode, the icon becomes slightly tinted, and the white area automatically turns transparent. The tinted mode also reveals perfectly distinct tones on both colored circles. This is surprising because my original file, created before iOS 18, doesn’t even have a transparent background. Now, I’m trying to create a seasonal Christmas icon, but I can’t find a way to properly simulate how it will render in real life. My original icon file doesn’t even show what iOS 18 is actually doing when I test it with the templates. Honestly, I’m a bit lost.

Hi @vegas160 It's an old thread but we are just experiencing the same issue... Did you finally managed to pass the review? Thanks. Phil
