SF Symbols usability on my app's website
Hi everyone, If I’m using SF Symbols in my app, am I allowed to use those same symbols on my app’s website? So in other words, I've used SF Symbols in my app to indicate what certain things are. For example "person.fill" to indicate a contact of a person. So now that I'm at a point where I'm developing a site for my app, I'm hoping to use those same symbols to indicate what they are for when the user uses the app. Seems a little silly that I might not be able to use them on my app, but I can’t use them to indicate what they’re for on my site? Thanks!

Custom SF Symbol gets error "not interpolatable"
I'm trying to make a custom SF Symbol. I've made some new custom symbols successfully, combining existing SF Symbols, so I understand the process. But as soon as I use vector files from my previous work, I get the error, "The provided variants are not interpolatable." - even though it has shapes made with vector path. Template set up - Variable I use sketch to work on the template I have separate layers for Ultralight-S, Regular-S, Black-S File saved as SVG What is wrong with my template? Thanks!

Sf Symbol now filled in
I have a strange issue with a custom SF Symbol in Xcode 15 beta 7. It works fine except if the font is body and the weight is regular: The top symbol is body, regular. The bottom is body, medium. All combinations except body, regular work. In the SF Symbols 5 app, the file validates and everything shows correctly. I wanted to attach the svg file, but I can't figure out how 😅 Is anyone aware of this issue? Or am I the issue?

Coloring SFSymbol in code
I'm currently experimenting with SFSymbol animations for iOS 17.0 I have a custom symbol that I like to animate with the Variable Color effect, and I want to set the colors in code. However, coloring the symbol in code doesn't work. What am I missing? Image("my-fancy-custom-symbol") .symbolRenderingMode(.multicolor) .foregroundStyle(.white, .yellow) .symbolEffect(.variableColor, options: .repeating)

Custom SF Symbols not visible in iOS 17 Beta
Hey there! We use a lot of custom SFSymbols in our app. We found a bug in iOS 17 that images has wrong appearance. Sometimes there are shown only parts of their outline, some symbols are totally filled by system (blue) tint color, so they ignore the default color of resource and also ignoring .tintColor parameter. But when we use default Apple SF Symbols they work correctly. Everything works correctly in versions earlier iOS 17 so we want to know is it a bug or we do something wrong? Example of usage SF in our workspace: let image = UIImage(named: "*****_critical", in: Bundle.main, compatibleWith: nil)?.applyingSymbolConfiguration(UIImage.SymbolConfiguration.preferringMulticolor()) let imageView = UIImageView(image: image) imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit imageView.tintColor = myColor Thanks.

Is it possible to use the replace effect with custom symbols and system symbols in SwiftUI?
Hi! I was wondering if it is possible to use the replace effect from a custom symbol to a system symbol. I've tried a if/else to switch from an Image with a custom symbol to an Image with a system symbol to no avail. I assume it needs to be the same Image view when transitioning so I think that's my problem, is there something I'm missing?

SF-Pro font issue with SF Symbols application
When I run SF Symbols, I get a "Fonts Mismatch" error. It claims that newer versions of all the SF-Pro-[Display/Rounded/etc.] family (save the italics ones) are available. The link it sends me to apparently still has the older versions. I've deleted the 'older' versions of the font files and then run the SF-Pro font installer off the downloaded disk image; error just continues to appear.

Apple's SF Symbol
Is that allowed to use Apple's SF symbol in the app that submitted to Swift Student Challenge? I have done some search and it says SF symbols can be used for APPs that run on apple devices. I won't use the SF Symbols for logo or any other trademark-related use. Just confirming that I am able to use SF Symbols to develop my APP for Swift Student Challenge right? All SF Symbols shall be considered to be system-provided images as defined in the Xcode and Apple SDKs license agreements and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. You may not use SF Symbols — or glyphs that are substantially or confusingly similar — in your app icons, logos, or any other trademark-related use. Apple reserves the right to review and, in its sole discretion, require modification or discontinuance of use of any Symbol used in violation of the foregoing restrictions, and you agree to promptly comply with any such request.

SF Symbol name in WeatherKit REST API requests
I am currently working on integrating the WeatherKit REST API into web application, and I am having trouble finding the correct symbol to use from the SF Symbol Library to represent the weather conditions returned in the API response. I have searched through the documentation for the WeatherKit REST API, but I was unable to find any information about the symbol name to use for each weather condition. Thank you in advance for your help!

How to use "SFProDisplay-Bold" font in Xamarin iOS project.
I want to use the "SFProDisplay-Bold" font in iOS project but without adding the font files in the project as this font file is 2.2 MB and it increases the App size. To see what the default system font is, added the below code in our iOS project: var systemFont = UIFont.SystemFontOfSize(20, UIFontWeight.Bold).Name; Debug.WriteLine($"System: {systemFont.FamilyName}"); This above code gave output from our project as follows -> System: .AppleSystemUIFont and the systemFont is ".SFUI-Bold" . I believe that SFUI and SF Pro Display are different fonts(correct me if wrong) Need more clarity for ways on how to implement specific font "SF Pro Display".

Can a WKWebView somehow display SF Symbols?
Does anyone know if it’s possible for a WKWebView showing a web page in the app bundle - a help screen in my case - to show SF Symbols, by name? I’d like the help page to include some of the symbols that I use for buttons elsewhere in the app. Can I do this without having to make PNGs of the symbols? Thanks.

SF Symbols interpolation error
Hello, I'm trying to create a custom symbol using a variable template. I'm providing a single closed path for Ultralight-S, Regular-S and Black-S. I understand that points must match in each variants, so my process is: Create a path for Regular-S. When it's done, copy it to Ultralight-S and Black-S Edit the shapes of Ultralight-S and Black-S. I only manually move points, I don't add or remove points, I don't use any tool like offset or such. Export to SVG. When I try importing into SF Symbols I get an error: the symbol can't be created, the variants can't be interpolated. The only thing that works is copying the same shape into Regular, Ultralight and Black an leave them all untouched. Same template file, same SVG export settings. It works. But of course it defeats the whole purpose. I don't know what I'm supposed to do here.

Any experiences getting custom symbols designed?
Has anyone paid a graphics designer to produce custom SF Symbols for them? Would you care to share your experiences? I paid for some custom graphics a decade ago; the results were OK but not amazing. I forget how I found that guy. No doubt everything has changed since then.
