## Discussion

Discussion By default, the system uses predefined colors for text and symbols in the App Shortcuts platter — a view that represents a single group of App Shortcuts. To override that behavior and change the color of those items, add a custom color to your app’s asset catalog and specify the color’s name as the value for this key. <dict>      <key>CFBundlePrimaryIcon</key>      <dict>          <key>NSAppIconActionTintColorName</key>          <string>CustomTintColor</string>     </dict> </dict> If your app provides multiple app icons, you can specify a different tint color to match each alternative. <dict>      <key>CFBundlePrimaryIcon</key>      <dict>          <key>NSAppIconActionTintColorName</key>          <string>CustomTintColor</string>     </dict>     <key>CFBundleAlternateIcons</key>      <dict>          <key>MyAlternateIcon</key>          <dict>             <key>NSAppIconActionTintColorName</key>             <string>AlternateCustomTintColor</string>          </dict>     </dict> </dict>
