I am trying to create an app for the Mac OS X that will convert an image type to an icns file. I’m wondering how I can get started on doing so. Any suggestions would be nice!
Thanks,
Kevin

Use CGImageSource APIs (e.g.,
CGImageSourceCreateWithURL,CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex) to load each image into aCGImageRef. Then use CGImageDestination APIs (e.g.,CGImageDestinationCreateWithURL,CGImageDestinationAddImage,CGImageDestinationFinalize) to combine however many images you have into one icon file. The 3rd parameter ofCGImageDestinationCreateWithURLwould bekUTTypeAppleICNS.
