Xcode will then automatically create both the flat AppIcon.icns for compatibility and the HDR-capable iconstack in Assets.car.
I cannot show you an HDR screenshot even with Apple’s Screenshot.app in HDR mode (this triggers another new bug where screenshotting does not capture XDR-enabled Quick Look windows. Will file a radar). You need to believe me. Or not :) (6/6)

Alright, here's the source! Check out https://github.com/Shpigford/clearly/blob/main/Clearly/AppIcon.icon/icon.json – the main parts: ⁃ "glass”: true on individual layers enables lighting effects ⁃ "specular: true on the groups is important ⁃ "blend-mode": “plus-lighter" is the Linear Dodge effect we know from Photoshop and similar tools; this generates above-SDR white and blue. That's all the magic there is to it.
