Some context from the Human Interface Guidelines. It says that the AppIcon should be square in shape with no rounded edges. But when I build my app with the same image specs using Image Asset Catalog, it does not seems to be rounding the corners automagically. I know it does in iOS and iPadOS, but does it work macOS 11.

And what about Icon shapes in older macOS Catalina? Will this change affect them.

Square without rounded corners looks kinda ugly.

No, you need to fix it manually. And don't forgot the shadow.

Yeah I learned this the hard way. We gotta round it off ourselves. Hope Apple would change this soon!

However, I have found and been using this great Figma template, which is really easy to use since it let's you change the corner radius directly.

Check it out

Asset Catalog Creator is able to apply the macOS 11 style to a square image for you automatically. You can just give it your existing iOS icon. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/asset-catalog-creator/id866571115?mt=12
