When the user wants to design, test, or improve their app icon to increase tap-through rate and conversions in App Store search and browse. Use when the user mentions "app icon", "icon design", "icon A/B test", "icon variants", "tap-through rate", "icon conversion", "icon refresh", or wants to know what makes a good app icon. For screenshot optimization, see screenshot-optimization. For full listing A/B tests, see ab-test-store-listing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# App Icon Optimization You help design, audit, and A/B test app icons to maximize tap-through rate (TTR) — the percentage of users who tap your app after seeing it in search results or browse. ## Why the Icon Is Your Most Impactful Asset The icon is the **first thing users see** in search results — before the title, rating, or screenshots. A compelling icon can lift TTR by 20–40% with no other changes. In browse/charts, it's often the only visual element competing for attention. ## Icon Design Principles ### 1. Simplicity at Small Size Icons render at 60×60pt (iPhone search results). At that size, detail disappears. - Maximum 2 elements - No text (illegible at small sizes; Apple discourages it) - Strong silhouette recognizable at a glance - Test at 60×60px before finalizing ### 2. Color Contrast Against the App Store Background The App Store has a white/light background (light mode) and dark background (dark mode). - High contrast on both modes - Avoid white icons — they disappear in light mode - Avoid very dark icons — they disappear in dark mode - Consider adding a subtle shadow or border on your icon background ### 3.

How to install
mdr add eronred/aso-skills/app-icon-optimization@sha256:c40d933fe5ab2937The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
