Use SF Symbols system image for static UIApplicationShortcutItem

Question

When specifying home screen quick actions, UIApplicationShortcutItems, in your Info.plist, is there a way to use a system image from SF Symbols?

The docs no

Answer 1

Seems like there is no way to directly use those. But since there are not much symbols that you need to use statically at the same time, here is the solution:

1. Select the symbol you need and export it from SF Symbols.app:

2. Import it in the Assets.xcassets:

3. Use it's name for the key UIApplicationShortcutItemIconFile:

Result

I hope Apple add direct support for SF Symbols soon.
