Support for SF Symbols v3

[fredpi]

SF Symbols v3 are now officially a thing and the corresponding app to browse them can be downloaded at https://developer.apple.com/sf-symbols/.

I quickly browsed the app and saw the following new features:

• There are new types in addition to Monochrome and Multicolor: Hierarchical & Palette. Fortunately, there is a file embedded in the app that tells us everything about the types for each symbol: layerset_availability.plist. I suggest we add this information to each's symbol documentation (similar to the localized versions).
• There's a new file symbol_categories.plist, but I suggest we just ignore it because there's no real value in adding the symbol category to each's symbol documentation IMO.
• According to Apple, there are > 600 new symbols. As all files that were used to generate the SFSafeSymbols code are still present in the app, it's probably not much work to create an update for these new versions.

Are there any updates? It would be great if there was a dev branch available. And I believe the iOS 15 is coming soon. 😄

Any update to this? Would love to make use of SFSafeSymbols with the v3 additions.

Seeing no activity doesn't inspire me with confidence that this package is still maintained.
I ended up creating my own version: https://github.com/ptrkstr/Symbols

Hi everybody! I'm very much sorry for the huge delay! Especially to @ptrkstr for the huge amount of work of creating a new, up-to-date repository. 😒 I'm now committed to releasing an update within the next 10 days, starting by getting #72 merged ASAP.

@ptrkstr If you want, I'd like to invite you to collaborate on this repository. Spreading the responsibility over multiple people would ensure quick updates even if I sometimes just don't find the time to work on this repository.

Hi @fredpi, thanks for replying, I can understand life can be busy sometimes.
I whole-heartedly appreciate the invitation to collaborate on this great project. I will have to pass on this offer for now however. 🙏

[gongzhang]

Still waiting for updates. 😂

@fredpi I love this project and am greatly incentivized to keep it updated with the latest SF Symbols releases. Please let me know if I can contribute in any fashion.

@rygood Thank you!!

As specified in the contributing guide, every help is appreciated (that includes participation in issue discussions, as you already did in #87).

If you want to become a core contributor ( i. e. have extended privileges (write access, CI access & CocoaPods ownership)), a successfully merged non-trivial PR is required. This is also described in the contributing guide.

I see that the v3.2 branch contains support for SFSymbols 3.0/3.1/3.2. Are there plans to merge this into stable? Or should we be using v3.2 directly?

[StevenSorial]

@sepw yes, I will try to merge it in the coming days. The v3.2 branch will be deleted once it's merged, but you can continue using it for now.

Edit: v3.2 is merged

[fredpi]

The 3.3 release is now finally out! 🚀

And sorry for the huge delay...

@fredpi That's great to hear, thank you.
