Can we change 3D touch short cut item icon?

Question

Here is my code.

    UIApplicationShortcutItem *bookmarksShortcutItem = [[UIApplicationShortcutItem alloc] initWithType:@"bookmarks" localizedTitle:@"Bookmarks" localizedSubtitle:@"test" icon:[UIApplicationShortcutIcon iconWithType:UIApplicationShortcutIconTypeBookmark] userInfo:@{@"type":@"bookmarks"}];

So can I add my custom icon instead of UIApplicationShortcutIconTypeBookmark?

Thanks in advance.

This is how you do it:

UIApplicationShortcutIcon *shortcutIcon = [UIApplicationShortcutIcon iconWithTemplateImageName:@"IMAGE_NAME"];
UIMutableApplicationShortcutItem *option = [[UIMutableApplicationShortcutItem alloc] initWithType:@"uniqueIdentifier"
                                                                                   localizedTitle:@"title"
                                                                                localizedSubtitle:nil
                                                                                             icon:shortcutIcon
                                                                                         userInfo:nil];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].shortcutItems = @[option];

Thanks for the solution. Can I remove all the shortcutItem? I have a case, When user logged in I should show shortcutItem and no shortcutItem in case of no login. Thanks in Advance — Ajith Kumar, Apr 28 '16 at 06:10

Under UIApplicationShortcutItems you can specify your shortcuts, but you should do this in your plist rather than in the code. There you can create a dictionairy for every ShortcutAction and with UIApplicationShortcutItemIconFile you can define your own Icon.
