I'm working under Sonoma and I'm trying to change the icon in an app I created using Apple Script. I know the normal steps but after I get info on the app, select all in the new icon and copy it, paste it grayed out in my app.
iMac 24″, macOS 14.4
I'm on Ventura with an Intel iMac and am still able to change apps created by AppleScript. I hadn't heard that it had been changed/dropped in Sonoma.
Make sure you have Read & Write permissions for the app in the Info pane.
I realized today that there was a simple workaround for my problem:
I could do this in Ventura, but after some research it seems that under Sonoma I can still do it but only if I want to modify my app's plist and I'm not sure I want to do that.
From what I see from Apple Documentation and do not see specific mention of changing the icon
Save a script as an app in Script Editor on Mac
My problem has nothing to do with creating my Apple Script app. That app exists and runs well and it has an icon that was added by me. I added the icon by doing the following but now it doesn't work.
To add the icon to your new application:
If it's a native macOS app, (built in to the OS) you can't change those.
Thanks, but it's an app I created via Apple Script.

You are right it was never mentioned.
Nor was it mentioned by an earlier reply offered by @PRP_53 ( moi )
You might get a better response by posting your question in one of the Applications and Services Forums. Sorry I could not be of more help.
Yes, Ventura was no problem, but I would suggest to anyone that they "upgrade" to Sonoma.
Why can't I change my app's icon
