iOS: iPhone Icon and submitting to App store
Build an iOS App
User: I want to build a simple iOS app to practice blackjack.
iOS-GPT: What features do you want to include in your blackjack practice app?
User: At first, we will do something very simple. Given a pair of cards, 2s to As and the dealer card, the user needs to decide whether he should spit or not.
iOS-GPT: What are the rules for splitting in your blackjack practice app?
User:
Always Split Aces & 8’s
Never Split 10’s and 5’s
Split 2, 3 & 7 on 2 through 7
Split 4’s against 5 & 6
Split 6’s on 2 through 6
Split 9’s against 2 through 9, except 7
iOS-GPT: Based on the splitting rules you provided, here's a plan for building your simple blackjack practice app:
Create a user interface that displays the player's two cards and the dealer's up card.
Implement a function to determine whether the player should split or not, based on the provided rules.
Display a button for the user to choose whether to split or not.
Compare the user's choice with the recommended action from the function, and provide feedback on whether their decision was correct or not.
Add a button to generate a new set of cards for continuous practice.
Once you have implemented these steps, you'll have a basic blackjack practice app that helps users learn the correct splitting strategy. You can then consider adding more features, like a scoring system or additional blackjack rules, to enhance the app further.
User: Ok but first I need an icon for the app. What are the constraints
The constraints for an iOS app icon are as follows:
File format: PNG
Icon sizes: You need to provide multiple sizes of your app icon to support different devices and screen resolutions. The required sizes are:
180x180 pixels for iPhone (60pt@3x)
120x120 pixels for iPhone (60pt@2x)
167x167 pixels for iPad Pro (83.5pt@2x)
152x152 pixels for iPad and iPad mini (76pt@2x)
1024x1024 pixels for App Store submission (this is not used in the app, but required for submission)
Design: Your icon should be visually appealing and represent the purpose of your app. In your case, consider incorporating elements related to blackjack, such as cards or casino-related imagery.
No transparency: iOS app icons should not have any transparent areas. Make sure to fill the entire icon with a solid background color or design.
Corner radius: iOS will automatically apply a corner radius to your app icon, so you don't need to create rounded corners in your design.
Once you have designed your app icon following these constraints, you can add it to your Xcode project and it will be displayed on users' devices when they install your app.
User: Ok so what prompt should I use for an AI to generate this icon?
To generate an icon for your blackjack practice app using an AI, you can use the following prompt:
"Design an iOS app icon for a blackjack practice app. The app helps users learn when to split their cards in a game of blackjack. Incorporate elements related to blackjack, such as cards or casino-related imagery. Ensure the design is visually appealing and represents the purpose of the app. Do not use any transparency, and create the icon in the following sizes: 180x180, 120x120, 167x167, 152x152, and 1024x1024 pixels."
User: What AI tools can I use to generate this icon?
Some AI tools you can use to generate the app icon are:
DeepArt.io: An AI-based tool that turns your descriptions into artwork. You can provide the prompt and select a style to generate the icon.
RunwayML: A platform that allows you to use various machine learning models for creative purposes. You can find a suitable model and use your prompt to generate the icon.
DALL-E: An AI model by OpenAI that generates images from textual descriptions. Although it's not publicly available for direct use, you can follow its progress and check for availability in the future.
Canva: While not strictly an AI tool, Canva offers a vast library of templates and elements that can help you create a visually appealing icon based on your prompt.
Keep in mind that AI-generated artwork might require some manual adjustments to meet the specific constraints of an iOS app icon. You can use graphic editing tools like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP to make the necessary changes.
User: Ok so we have a 512 by 512 jpeg image. How can I use MacOS command line to turn it into the pngs we want?
To convert a 512x512 JPEG image to the required PNG sizes using the macOS command line, you can use the built-in 'sips' command. Follow these steps:
Open Terminal on your Mac.
Navigate to the directory where your JPEG image is located using the 'cd' command, e.g., cd /path/to/your/image/directory.
Run the following commands to create and resize the PNG images:
sips -s format png input.jpg --out 180x180.png
sips -Z 180 180x180.png
sips -s format png input.jpg --out 120x120.png
sips -Z 120 120x120.png
sips -s format png input.jpg --out 167x167.png
sips -Z 167 167x167.png
sips -s format png input.jpg --out 152x152.png
sips -Z 152 152x152.png
sips -s format png input.jpg --out 1024x1024.png
sips -Z 1024 1024x1024.png
Replace 'input.jpg' with the name of your 512x512 JPEG image. These commands will create PNG images with the required sizes in the same directory as your original JPEG image.
Once you have the resized PNG images, you can add them to your Xcode project as app icons.
User: Ok, how to I add them to XCode?
To add the resized PNG images to your Xcode project as app icons, follow these steps:
Open your Xcode project.
In the Project Navigator, click on the "Assets.xcassets" folder.
Inside the "Assets.xcassets" folder, you'll see an item named "AppIcon". Click on it.
You'll see a grid with various empty icon slots for different devices and resolutions.
Locate the resized PNG images you created earlier on your computer.
Drag and drop each PNG image into the corresponding slot in the AppIcon grid in Xcode. Make sure to match the image size with the correct slot (e.g., the 180x180 image goes in the 180x180 slot).
After adding all the images, save your project (File > Save or Command+S).
Now, your app icons are set up in your Xcode project, and they will be displayed on users' devices when they install your app.
User: Ok, now how do get this sent to the App Store?

All contributors and users who have provided valuable feedback and support
User: My github username is Varal7. Let's include our App logo! It's located at logosin the github repo at logos/input.jpg. You don't need to regenerate the Readme, just give me the link to add in markdown
To include the app logo in your README file using Markdown, add the following line of code:
This will display the app logo located in the "logos" folder of your GitHub repository.
User: Let's add some screenshots. I have 4 files called menu.PNG split.PNG soft.PNG hard.PNG in the"screenshots" folder. First, we need to trim to top and bottom 150px of each screenshot. What's a MacOs command line I can use?
To trim the top and bottom 150px of each screenshot using the macOS command line, you can use the 'mogrify' command from the ImageMagick suite. First, you'll need to install ImageMagick if you haven't already:
Install Homebrew if you don't have it: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Install ImageMagick: brew install imagemagick
Once ImageMagick is installed, you can use the following commands to trim the top and bottom 150px of your screenshots:
cd /path/to/your/screenshots/directory
mogrify -gravity North -chop 0x150 menu.PNG
mogrify -gravity South -chop 0x150 menu.PNG
mogrify -gravity North -chop 0x150 split.PNG
mogrify -gravity South -chop 0x150 split.PNG
mogrify -gravity North -chop 0x150 soft.PNG
mogrify -gravity South -chop 0x150 soft.PNG
mogrify -gravity North -chop 0x150 hard.PNG
mogrify -gravity South -chop 0x150 hard.PNG
These commands will trim the top and bottom 150px of each screenshot in the "screenshots" folder. The original files will be overwritten with the trimmed versions. If you want to keep the original files, make sure to create a backup before running these commands.
User: Ok, now let's display them in the Github Readme. I want them to appear side by side.
To display the screenshots side by side in your GitHub README, you can use an HTML table in Markdown. Add the following code to your README file:
<table>
<tr>
<td><img src="https://github.com/Varal7/BlackJackPractice/raw/main/screenshots/menu.PNG" alt="Menu Screenshot" width="200"/></td>
<td><img src="https://github.com/Varal7/BlackJackPractice/raw/main/screenshots/split.PNG" alt="Split Screenshot" width="200"/></td>
<td><img src="https://github.com/Varal7/BlackJackPractice/raw/main/screenshots/soft.PNG" alt="Soft Screenshot" width="200"/></td>
<td><img src="https://github.com/Varal7/BlackJackPractice/raw/main/screenshots/hard.PNG" alt="Hard Screenshot" width="200"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
This code creates a table with four columns, each containing one of your screenshots. The table will display the images side by side, and they will be resized to a width of 200 pixels each. Adjust the width value as needed to fit your desired layout.
User: Also, center the logo.
To center the app logo in your GitHub README, you can use HTML div tags with the align attribute. Update the code for displaying the logo as follows:
<div align="center">
<img src="https://github.com/Varal7/BlackJackPractice/raw/main/logos/input.jpg" alt="BlackJackPractice App Logo">
</div>
This code wraps the logo image in a div tag with the align attribute set to "center", which will center the logo in your README file.
