A Swift library providing Google Material Design icons as a custom font for iOS apps.
GoogleMaterialDesignIcons is a Swift library that provides Google's Material Design icons as a custom font for iOS applications. It solves the problem of integrating and managing vector icons by converting SVG files into a font format, enabling developers to use icons as easily as text with full UIKit styling support.
iOS developers building apps with Material Design aesthetics who need a lightweight, font-based icon solution compatible with UIKit and Swift.
Developers choose this library for its simplicity—icons are managed in one font file, support dynamic coloring and sizing, and integrate seamlessly with iOS development workflows, including Storyboard configuration.
Google Material Design Icons Font for iOS
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Icons are bundled into one font file (googleicon.ttf), simplifying project imports and updates, as highlighted in the README's benefits section.
Icons can be colored and resized using standard UIFont properties, seamlessly integrating with iOS development workflows for dynamic styling.
Supports embedding icons in AttributedString for rich text layouts, useful for complex UI text as mentioned in the features.
Allows direct configuration in Interface Builder with Unicode input, facilitating visual design without code, as shown in the README's screenshots.
CocoaPods installation is listed as 'comming soon...', forcing manual integration which can be cumbersome and error-prone for modern Swift projects.
Relies on a pre-packaged font with 1661 icons; updates to Material Design icons require library releases, potentially lagging behind Google's updates.
Primarily designed for UIKit with no built-in SwiftUI support, limiting its use in newer iOS apps adopting declarative UI patterns.
