It is impossible to send App Icon with multiple designs. #1084

Describe your issue here, and if possible, add an image.

The ICNS format contains multiple designs. it is not possible to send this with a single PNG. (Icon submited must be a .png file on https://macosicons.com/)

Maintain visual consistency in all icon sizes. As icon size decreases, fine details become muddy and hard to distinguish. At the smallest sizes, it’s important to remove unnecessary features and exaggerate primary features to help the content remain clear. As you simplify icons that are visually smaller, don’t let them appear drastically different from their larger counterparts. Strive to make subtle variations that ensure the icon remains visually consistent when displayed in different environments. For example, if people drag your icon between displays with different resolutions, the icon’s appearance shouldn’t suddenly change.

The 512x512 pt Safari app icon (on the left) uses a circle of tick marks to indicate degrees; the 16x16 pt version of the icon (on the right) doesn’t include this detail.

That wouldn't be hard to implement, the only issue is that I don't know of a way to create a png image from an .incs file to display back on the website. Here's a discussion the same request with my answer, so if you can think of a way to overcome that issue please let me know there.
