Is there a way to programmatically change an application icon much like the calendar application icon updates the current date??
Got a tip for us?

Not that I'm aware of in the SDK. Just like there is no public way to alter the default image shown as the app loads, yet some Apple apps can do it

ha I thought this was the same sdk that apple's own developers use??
For developer distributed apps, the icon is inside a digitally signed bundle. Change it, and the app will no longer launch on a non-jailbroken device.
Of course Apple can do things differently for their own apps, because they're the ones making the rules on what digital signatures to check.

It is, but ours has more limitations. Apple has access to a number of private frameworks (and undocumented methods) that'll get AppStore apps rejected, and their apps aren't running inside sandboxes.
