Retrieve Dark Mode and Tinted app icons

Hello,

Is there a way to retrieve the dark mode and the tinted app icons using personal iOS device, or alternatively through an available API? I wasn't able to find anything online or on the existing form posts.

I tried using:

xcrun devicectl device info appIcon

But this command only returns a light mode icon for an app and I didn't see any options/flags for dark mode or tinted icons

Software Version info: XCode - 16 MacOS 15.1 Beta (24B5070a) devicectl - 397.21 xcrun - version 70, platform version 15.0

Let me know if any other info would be helpful. Thanks!

There’s definitely no API for this. Nor can I see any way to do it with devicectl.

Honestly, I reckon it’d make a fine enhancement request for the appIcon subcommand. Please post your bug number, just for the record.
