Thank you for your script!
I had to change it a little to get it to work on macOS Tahoe 26.1 / GNU Bash 3.2.57

#!/bin/bash

# iterate over the svg files fed into on the command line
for svgfile in "$@"
do
	filename=$(basename -- "$svgfile")
	ext="${filename##*.}"
	name="${filename%.*}"

	echo "Processing $name ..."
	set -e
	mkdir "$name.iconset"

	# run inkscape from the command line to generate the iconset formatted for icns
	inkscape --export-filename="$PWD/$name.iconset/icon_16x16.png"      --export-width=16 "$PWD/$svgfile"
