Error trying to add SVG image to xcode assets

Question

I have converted an image from PNG to SVG using the vectorizer.io website. The SVG image looks fine when viewed with the Chrome browser and in GIMP. But when I try to add it to the asset folder in xcode (Version 11.4.1) I get this error ...

The SVG file provided for the symbol image set X is not suitable. Symbol image file (null) must have a glyph for regular weight Medium image size.

I have tried opening the file with Inkscape and saving it as various versions of the SVG and PDF, but none seem to be acceptable.

I have not been able work out how to provide that glyph, and whether this is a fault in the SVG file or something I have failed to do in xcode.

did you ever find a solution? Ramis's answer is wholly unhelpful... — skywalkerdude, Mar 16 '22 at 02:20
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. No I never did find a solution. I had to use a PNG file instead. — Melchester, Mar 22 '22 at 02:19

Only starting from Xcode 12 you can use SVG.

I encountered the same error in Xcode 14.3.1 when I tried to add an SVG file via 'Symbol Image Set'. Then, I attempted to use 'Import,' and the SVG loaded. I think 'Symbol Image Set' works with SF Symbol templates only.
