title: iPhone - Change icon of the app programmatically at runtime
body: <p>I can read that changing the app icon programmatically at runtime is not possible, at least since iOS 3.0.</p>
  
  <p>But... I regulary can see on "App" websites apps that can put icons on the springboard. The first I remember is that kind of app that you give a friend's picture from your album, and it creates an icon so you can call him just clicking on that icon:</p>

  <p>So I guess, is it still impossible to change the app icon programmatically at runtime?</p>
