Multiple dynamically generated icons

[istashak]

I'm developing an iPhone application that will require multiple icons to be present on the iPhone's main navigation page, at the same time. Each icon, when pressed will launch a skinned version of the main application through a url.

I'm wondering what mechanism I should use to do this.

Can I have multiple instances of the same application on a single device with unique icons?

thanks.

Just be sure to rename the application within XCode (and iTunes, of course) for each version. The XCode project name can be identical, but the com.companyname.appname data in the Info.plist file must be different. That's how each app is uniquely identified.

I realized that what I was looking for is to specify an icon for a web page that fires a skinned version of my app.

It's partly described here:
