I think, I solved the mystery. Just for the record, in case someone else stumbles across this (it's probably old news for you guys on this list):
You can use a vector drawing in a PDF , drag it into the asset catalog (not into the default AppIcon!), and load it as if it were a regular image , and it works, even with itemImage?.isTemplate = false (in that case, colors in the icon will be nicely preserved). I believe, NSImage() converts it into a bitmap during loading. Maybe, Xcode does it already. If you want to load a bitmap image, then do NOT try to populate the default AppIcon with all the resolutions , from 16x16 pixels through 512x512@2x ! You will get a mostly black-ish status bar icon. You would do that for a regular app, but it does NOT work for status bar items. You must use a 32x32 image, and this shows fine in color in the status bar. If you drag that into the asset catalog, you will get a regular image set in Xcode; then you can also populate the 2x and the 3x versions with resolutions of 64x64 and 96x96 bitmaps. Best, G.
