Following Ortwin answer, a Swift 4 approach:

func getHighResolutionAppIconName() -> String? {
    guard let infoPlist = Bundle.main.infoDictionary else { return nil }
    guard let bundleIcons = infoPlist["CFBundleIcons"] as? NSDictionary else { return nil }
    guard let bundlePrimaryIcon = bundleIcons["CFBundlePrimaryIcon"] as? NSDictionary else { return nil }
    guard let bundleIconFiles = bundlePrimaryIcon["CFBundleIconFiles"] as? NSArray else { return nil }
    guard let appIcon = bundleIconFiles.lastObject as? String else { return nil }
    return appIcon
}

Then it can be used like:

let imageName = getHighResolutionAppIconName()
myImageView.image = UIImage(named: imageName)
