symbolpicker's Issues

This is how to get the SF Symbols programatically

Hi thanks for making your library,

If you want to programmatically obtain the list of symbols, here you go. It's not a complete example because I didn't handle the category, but they are in the bundle. I figure that it is feasible to get them.

They are located in this bundle: /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_21A328/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 17.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SFSymbols.framework/CoreGlyphs.bundle/

More specifically, in this file: name_availability.plist.

// Read the content of CoreGlyphs
// /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_21A328/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 17.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SFSymbols.framework

var symbols = [String]()
if let bundle = Bundle(identifier: "com.apple.CoreGlyphs"),
   let resourcePath = bundle.path(forResource: "name_availability", ofType: "plist"),
   let plist = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: resourcePath),
   let plistSymbols = plist["symbols"] as? [String: String]
{
  symbols = Array(plistSymbols.keys)
}

Support for Categories

Thanks a lot for this Swift package!

Do you plan to support categories? Would be awesome to have categorised symbols maybe by adding an option menu on top of the view.

This issue is also very interesting and could help to solve the issue:

SFSymbols 4.0 support

Great package. Is there any chance SFSymbols 4.0 could be supported?

Possibility to choose no symbol, i.e. the empty string?

Would be fantastic to let the user choose that he does not want an icon.

Thank you for the amazing work btw.
