I would like to update the application icon and the splash (loading) screen of my app dynamically if possible, by storing the data in SQLite fetched from a webservice
I pretty sure the answer is going to be no but thought I’d get confirmation
Thanks
You can change the Default.png file by putting a symlink in your app bundle:

The same technique might work for the Icon.png, but I doubt it, and if you could get it to work I imagine you’d have to HUP the SpringBoard (which you can’t do on a non-jailbroken device).
It looks like Apple has removed the ability to set a badge for your app other than through push notifications (which in that case can only be a number according to the docs).
