Description

we are using a few icons (1x 2x) and launch screens but it's now preferred to use an asset catalog and on certain devices things like the keyboard are stretched since the sizing of the app is wrong:

There's a tool called asset catalog creator pro that's pretty good and we can use to make a more modern set of images for launch and remove the older ones we have from the data folder, etc.
