I am developing an application which is a kind of contact list. This list is updated each times the applications starts.
Each contact in the list has its own photo. A part of this list is common for every user of this application. For this part, I already have all the needed pics and I inlude them in the bundle/archive (which will be sent to Apple).
The pics of the new contacts (added during the lifetime of the app) are downloaded from a remote server (using ASIHTTPRequest). But I don’t know how to handle these downloaded pics easily.

I am looking for a way to add these downloaded pics to the main bundle so I can call them using :

+ (UIImage *)imageNamed:(NSString *)name

Do you have any idea of the good practices for this kind of things ?
If new resources can’t be added to the main bundle, what are your recommendations ?

Thanks again for your help !

    You can only add files to your App’s Documents directory. The main bundle can’t be modified after your App has been released. Read the documentation on how to write to the directory.
