Research direction

No specific file or test is named; start by locating CodeEdit's app icon asset and the configuration that packages it for macOS. Compare the current icon with the linked Apple guidance and the issue screenshots, then confirm the replacement uses a closed-square design and matches the intended Xcode-inspired direction.

Description

As of macOS 26 Tahoe, app icons are supposed to be closed squares, which will then be clipped by the system.

Opinions aside, CodeEdit looks really ugly in Squircle Jail.

Since CodeEdit's app icon is very similar to the icon used in Xcode 16, updating it for the upcoming design using inspiration from the new Xcode app icon would make sense.
