Ability to name the icon about flutter_launcher_icons HOT 6 CLOSED

@gaara87 why are you looking to change the icon name?

Do you not want the icon to replace the existing launcher icon?

Or is it because you'd want to have seasonal icons and so anytime you run the tool with a new icon name, you want both apps to switch to the icon name specified but retain the old one?

Changing the file name would involve also modifying the underlying platforms iOS & Android so that it can point to the new filename. I would suggest having a folder with multiple icons and the types of icons you would like to have. then in the pubspec config we could read a parameter with the name of the icon and replace the icons needed.

So basically we could have a parameter in the pupspec file like

flutter_icons:
  image_path: "icon/icon.png" 
  android: true
  ios: false
  custom:
    icon1:  "icon/icon1.png"
    icon2:  "icon/icon2.png"
    icon3:  "icon/icon3.png"

Then we can add an optional parameter to specify the icon name to use like:

flutter pub pub run flutter_launcher_icons:main icon3

then we would use that icon specified on the command.

This would allow to quickly swap the icons.

What do you think?

@gaara87 I've been working on trying to get something implementing for this, you can test it out and let me know if it's working similar to what you desire.

Currently, I've managed to get a couple of things working for the Android part of the Flutter project. Right now you can do the following for the Android part of the Flutter project:

• Replace the existing launcher icon

overwrite = true

• Create a new launcher icon and switch to using it whilst keeping the old one if you wish to go back to it

overwrite = true
ic_name = "ic_test"

Both of these settings need to be added to the pubspec.yaml file.

NOTE: This is only available on my forked repo for now (find here - https://github.com/MarkOSullivan94/flutter_launcher_icons ). So you will need to clone it and then use the clone version of the package instead of the one published.

flutter_launcher_icons:
  path: ../../flutter_launcher_icons/ # location of where you clone the forked package
