Spotlight search icons are not required. Even if you don't provide them, your app icon will be used in the search results.

Using spotlight icons is recommended by apple in case you want to make sure they appear properly on all device types.

You can find additional info here.

  • What about settings icons? – Dror Bar Feb 17 '19 at 10:47

    @DrorBar same goes for the Settings app icons. As stated in the HIG: "If you don’t provide these icons, iOS might shrink your main app icon for display in these locations". The relevant info can be found in the "Spotlight, Settings, and Notification Icons" section regarding App Icons: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/icons-and-images/app-icon/ – Artal Feb 17 '19 at 11:25
