Is there a way to change the icon of an app. Like the calendar app, every day it changes with the current date and day. How can I do that with my own app?

im just thinking this up as i write, but maybe? What if you had pre-made icons and then u changed the icon key in the info.plist at runtime to what you needed it to be...? not quite as dynamic as what apple probably uses for the calendar app, but it might be useful
If you change the .plist, the app will no longer match it's digital signature and will only run on a jailbroken phone. The badge is the only thing you can change.
Yeah. I wonder why the built in Weather app doesn't do this though :S
The weather app would require iOS to check online to change the weather a "thousand" times each day, this would drain battery.
For the calendar, no internet is needed.

Yeah, but most people have the connection on all the time, and a setting could be available to set the interval. Usually every 3 hours is fine (for me at least). Plus a nice feature would be location detection to always show the weather in the current location on the first page.
