iOS app icon with transparent background showing black background on device


From the apple developer website after a quick search:

Avoid transparency. An app icon should be opaque. If the icon’s boundaries are smaller than the recommended sizes—or you use transparency to create “see-through” areas—the resulting icon can appear to float on a black background, which tends to look especially unattractive on the beautiful wallpapers that users choose.

On IOS use just square icons, if you use rounder icons you will have black margin black background.
