macOS Adding an icon to an application

[Appleismylove]

Quick Question...
I just finished and applescript studio application (except for some finishing touches) and was having some trouble attaching an icon to the application. I now how to change icon, but I don't know how to actually attach an icon to the application, so for example, when I send it to people, that icon is already with it. A quick tutorial would be beautiful...

Yesterday, I answered the same question for an applescript. It should work for you too.

- Open the icon file you want to use with preview
- Copy the icon
- Select your app file in Finder
- Hit + I to open the property window of your app
- Select the icon in the upper left corner of the property window to surround it in blue
- Paste apple: + V)

Edit :
Oups... Sorry...
I had not read your post well enough ...
I have no answer for you

Did you use Xcode to write your app?

If so. Create an icon file using icon composer in the developer apps and then drag the .icns file into your project resources. Check the 'copy' box to copy it into your project.

Then select 'edit active target' from the 'project' menu and go to the 'properties' tab. Type in the name of your icns file (you don't need to add the .icns extension, just the filename) in the 'icon file' field.

Hope this helps
