In order to increase the touch point area, I applied auto layout and increased padding around the icon component. but I can’t resize the icon anymore after applying auto layout. I wonder if I didn’t do things correctly. Or there is a way to resize the icon, but I didn’t know how to do it? (there is no option to attach my screenshot)

Hi there,
After you applied the auto layout on your icon, your icon graphic is now wrapped inside the auto layout. So when you drag the corners to resize the icon, you are instead resizing the auto layout wrapping it.

Ensure that you double-click to select the icon graphic (you can check from your layers panel), then try dragging the corners to resize.

Alternatively, use the scale tool on it by pressing k and dragging.
