ImagesImporter4XamariniOS

A simple console application to perform mass import of images into the Xamarin.iOS project. Forked from yanxiaodi/ImagesImporter4XamariniOS.

Usage

1. Generate all the @1x, @2x and @3x PNG images you wish to import using an appropriate graphics tools -- Inkscape can be run from the command line to generate the required images.
2. Make sure they use the naming convention <name_of_image_set>@1x.png etc.
3. Copy all the images from all the image sets into one folder and note its path <image_folder_name>/*.png
4. Build and publish the application at the Package Manager Console within Visual Studio e.g. dotnet publish -c Release -r win10-x64 and copy the target directory to a directory near to your <image_folder_name> directory.
5. Run a command prompt and navigate to the directory containing the executable and run it.
6. When prompted enter the RELATIVE path of the directory containing all your images.
7. When prompted enter the name of the assets catalog folder minus its extension -- this can be found by navigating to your Xamarin.iOS project. The folder will be called <name_of_catalog>.xcassets.
8. Once complete the program will have created a folder called <name_of_catalog>.xcassets within which are individual folders containing each image set which you can copy straight into your <name_of_catalog>.xcassets folder in yoru Xamarin.iOS project code directory. You will also have a text file containing the lines that need adding to your Xamarin.iOS project csproj file. Make sure you reload the project afterwards.
