- Gonna need you to elaborate a bit here - If you just mean simply how they created the design: some designers will have put proposals together and built the icon designs up in something like illustrator - If you mean how Apple can change the icon based on settings, if it’s anything like the Android adaptive icon feature we’ve had for a few years, it’ll be a main colour transparent PNG of the main part of the icon and a 2nd monochrome version of the same. Then the user & OS can do what they like when rendering the icon, regarding icon borders and background colour 
- I think the answer is in this article: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/09/macos-26-tahoe-the-ars-technica-review 
- Poorly 
- Drugs? 
- Icon Composer by apple makes it piss easy
