It's relatively feasible today with (UI|NS)BezierPath and CAShapeLayer.
That's interesting, I might try that for launch assets, though it can't be used for app icons, I'd love to just drop in an svg and let the OS scale my icon.
Unfortunately the default path (including many default assets like icons and launch screens) is to produce tens of raster files generated from the original vectors and bundle them with the app which is wasteful, painful and prone to break with new hardware.
