Convert SVG file to macOS icon (icns) format

svg2icns.sh

#!/bin/sh -x

set -e

for SVG in "$@"; do
    BASE=$(basename "$SVG" | sed 's/\.[^\.]*$//')
    ICONSET="$BASE.iconset"
    mkdir -p "$ICONSET"
    for PARAMS in $SIZES; do
        SIZE=$(echo $PARAMS | cut -d, -f1)
        LABEL=$(echo $PARAMS | cut -d, -f2)
        svg2png -w $SIZE -h $SIZE -i "$SVG" -o "$ICONSET"/icon_$LABEL.png
    done

    iconutil -c icns "$ICONSET"
    rm -rf "$ICONSET"
done

I think I did brew install svg2png or similar. It's been a while but Google should find current answers.

Thank you for this! It works as expected and generates icns files with transparent background. 👍🏻
