XCode XCAssets and autocompletion

Question

I was wondering if anyone knew if the XCAsset symbols provided in autocompletion can be used in any way, I imagine something but it didn't worked.

Xcode propose all the images, it looks really interesting but if it's just to "show" I would be sad :(

What you're seeing there is an image literal . It's not the name for the image, it is the image — so using one is equivalent to the entire UIImage(named: "icon-stack") call, not just the "icon-stack" string within that call.

If you assign one of these directly to a var or let , you'll see that its inferred type is UIImage (or NSImage if targeting macOS):
