I see some stuff in NSImage & NSWorkspace for retrieving icons as NSImage objects, however I'm looking for all the goodness in the ICNS format - different images for different sizes / bit depths, image masks ... maybe some routines for slick resizing ...

You can trick the NSImages in NSWorkspace to work that way. You'll have to call setSize: on the image and maybe force a recache and crank up the image interpolation on the current NSGraphicsContext before drawing.

Another option might be IconFamily by Troy Stephens. It also supports editing and writing out icons.

Finally, I've done some work on IconKit, which is a class for icon management in GNUstep and MacOS X. It's not finished, but it should work for your purposes. It calls through to Carbon on MacOS X, but works transparently for Cocoa apps (even has its own NSImageRep for icons). You can check it out in SVN at http://witness.is-a-geek.org:8800/trunk/IconKit/ but no guarantee I won't change the API completely.

Note that IconKit is still copyright by me, as I haven't yet decided on a license (GNUstep is GPL or LGPL, but there are some nice dual-licensing schemes), so if you want to use it, get in touch with me so we can work something out.
