I'm trying to make a custom SF Symbol. I've made some new custom symbols successfully, combining existing SF Symbols, so I understand the process. But as soon as I use vector files from my previous work, I get the error, "The provided variants are not interpolatable." - even though it has shapes made with vector path.
Template set up - Variable
I use sketch to work on the template
I have separate layers for Ultralight-S, Regular-S, Black-S
File saved as SVG
What is wrong with my template?
Thanks!

The weather data from Weather Kit REST API doesn't contain SF Symbol name.
Is there a way to get the SF Symbol name by "conditionCode"?
I'm confused about the SF Pro fonts. Can these be used in our apps?
I tried pasting characters from SF Pro into a label, but was unable to get them to display properly. "SF Pro" doesn't appear in the list of available fonts in Xcode.
If these are not intended to be used by app developers, then what is their purpose?
Are "SF Symbols" different that SF Pro? What about the list of icons that appears in the "Symbols Library" in Xcode? There are so many different sources of symbols and icons, it is very confusing.
If any of these sources is OK to use in an iOS app, is it also OK to export them for use in the event that business needs require me to create an alternate version of my app for some hypothentical non-iOS platform?
Thanks,
Frank
When I try to import a custom SF Symbol exported for XCode 15 and try to import it in Xcode 15 beta (15A5160n), I got the error:
The SVG file provided for the symbol image set 'rings.heart' is not suitable: Template format 5.0 is newer than the version that this software supports (4.0)
Is Xcode 15 Beta not ready yet for Custom SF Symbols 5.0?

Can I use SF UI Text font in a web application?
If it is legal to use the font on a web application then how can I get a license for the font? I could not find the font on the Apple fonts.
Hello,
I have this issue. I don’t know what do I need to chang. can you help pleas.
This app duplicates the content and functionality of other apps submitted by you or another developer to the App Store, which is considered a form of spam.
Specifically, this app appears to be available in the same territories as another identical app submitted to the App Store. It would be appropriate to restrict the available territories for individual apps to those areas in which you intend to market and sell it and ensure none of the selected territories overlap.
Apps that simply duplicate content or functionality create clutter, diminish the overall experience for the end user, and reduce the ability of developers to market their apps.
The next submission of this app may require a longer review time.
I am a UI designer.
I have seen the official Apple Figma file for iOS17.
I found many places where the margins, padding, etc. of components are 5px, 7px, 11PX, etc. What is the reason for doing it that way instead of using 8 point grid system?
I'm currently experimenting with SFSymbol animations for iOS 17.0
I have a custom symbol that I like to animate with the Variable Color effect, and I want to set the colors in code. However, coloring the symbol in code doesn't work. What am I missing?
Image("my-fancy-custom-symbol")
.symbolRenderingMode(.multicolor)
.foregroundStyle(.white, .yellow)
.symbolEffect(.variableColor, options: .repeating)
Hello everyone,
I am new to MacOS app development and I'm currently working on implementing an HTTP/S interceptor in my application. I would like to know if there are any available APIs or network events that I can listen to in order to intercept HTTP/S calls made by all the applications installed in my MacOS, read their headers and body, and have the ability to block or allow those calls.
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Has anyone paid a graphics designer to produce custom SF Symbols for them? Would you care to share your experiences?
I paid for some custom graphics a decade ago; the results were OK but not amazing. I forget how I found that guy. No doubt everything has changed since then.
Hi, can I force a 5-star review to allow users to use the app's features? Is this a violation of policy?
I have a fairly standard app for visionOS, created using SwiftUI. I have not added any customization, so I regard this "out of the box" graphics.
Legibility is far too low.
I know I can change that, but by default, SwiftUI should generate UI elements that are within WCAG2 specs.
Hi. I would like to know, for Arab countries, should the first screenshot be placed on the right or left?
Thank you in advance.
Hello , i am a tech i fix phones on the side as a second source of income,
Apple, can you design a back that is as easy to take off as the front with clip or locking system, instead of using the glue to bond the glass back to the frame, this is a headache for most techs people who do not have the funds to buy the laser glue blasting machine, can you guys go back to the drawing board and design a new concept for the back to make it easy to fix.
thank you.
Hi everyone,
If I’m using SF Symbols in my app, am I allowed to use those same symbols on my app’s website? So in other words, I've used SF Symbols in my app to indicate what certain things are. For example "person.fill" to indicate a contact of a person.
So now that I'm at a point where I'm developing a site for my app, I'm hoping to use those same symbols to indicate what they are for when the user uses the app.
Seems a little silly that I might not be able to use them on my app, but I can’t use them to indicate what they’re for on my site?
Thanks!
I think there should be definitely more colors for the emoji hearts.
Especially dark blue, dark green and dark purple and in general more multicolored hearts which fit into the fall aesthetic of many apple users.
Hi
I'm using Xcode and I was using SF symbol 4 before. I couldn't use it this time tried to download #5. Apparently not working in Canada, App Store said.
Right now I have no symbols for my app.
thanks

I am a bit new to app development, spent the last month or so doing an app that handles orders and I integrated the use of firebase as well as notification and apple pay.
Now once the payment is done from the app, how do i know what the order is and where do i receive the money, Do i need to create mote handling for that or does it automatically come from apply pay ?
Any pointers on this would be very helpful
Hello,
I've discovered symbols and it gave me idea that if use them in FCPX or Keynote, it would be lot easier to tell story to people. It is minimalistic and huge library. For example, in a camera review, I would use symbols to describe buttons of it, so in a long run, all cameras have same buttons as working but in different shapes and locations, in a language of symbols, it would a lot easier to understand especially in classic film cameras. 📸
This is my first post in Developer Forums, so Hello World!
Thanks.
