Use images on Asset Catalog in Interface Builder

Question

Is it possible to use the images added to Assets Catalog directly on interface builder? How is that done?

On UIImageView properties I can't see any option to reference any image on assets catalog.

Answer 1

1. Import the images into the .xcassets folder
   
   • click the '+' in the bottom right, 'Import folder'
2. Setup each image with its 1x and 2x image size
3. Give it a name

Images can then be referenced programmatically with UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"some-image"], or via the image dropdown in IB/Storyboards.

Answer 2

All of the images in an asset catalog have a name. This name can be used in imageNamed: and in IB.
