# supportsAlternateIcons

A Boolean value that indicates whether the app is allowed to change its icon.

```
var supportsAlternateIcons: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

The value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> only when the system allows you to change the icon of your app. To declare your app’s alternate icons, include them in the <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/CFBundleIcons> key of your app’s `Info.plist` file.

The value of this property is always <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> for apps built using the visionOS SDK.
