iOS 8 App Icon SVG Template for Inkscape

Originally downloaded from Kodira and modified for use with the new iOS 8 specifications and Mac OS X platform.

Summary

There are a couple of IOS 7 App Icon Template for Photoshop available, but none for Inkscape. We here at Kodira are fond of Inkscape a great vector graphics editor to edit SVG files. So we created our own SVG App Icon Template for iPad and iPhone 7 Apps. It includes the new golden ratio grid. For easy export we wrote a small script to quickly render your App icon in all sizes you will need for iOS development. You can download the SVG template and the script here.
