Now that you can change app icons in iOS I am wondering if they need to be images already included in the bundle or if I can dynamically create an image file in code and assign it as the app icon?

Apple stopped allowing this a loooong time ago. – meaning-matters Aug 05 '17 at 18:32

On a side note: if you want to create this sort of behaviour for your app, you might want to develop an app widget. – Tamás Sengel Aug 05 '17 at 22:50

The image must already be included in the bundle.
You can use UIApplication.setAlternateIconName to change the icon easily, but you would want to read up on the common pitfalls.
