Icons and such

Getting Started Newbie Questions

Hello!

When creating icons such as Icon.png and Icon.png in our project, do we need to use rounded icons or non-rounded icons?

I downloaded the Icon resource at https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/resources/ and used Apple’s file to create my icon. The photoshop file states ‘do not generate images with mask on’. The mask essentially rounds the icon for me. 

So, do I need to be using rounded - - within my project? My assumption is non-rounded icons, but I wanted to check here first!

Thank you!

Non-rounded for iOS unless you want something like a fancy border or bezeled edge, in which case you build those into the image (but still no transparency or masking).
