See the above image, So i changed the tab image of the app using the instruction from this site. But i can't change this icon. How can change that.
On the main page of the app in the developer settings, there is the an app image and some smaller text that says "edit icon" - this is what the small icon refers to and it is 16x16px. It's not related to the image that sits next to it which I believe is around 70x70px. The proximity does make it slightly confusing. But just click the text link

How do you change an app detail image or icon? There is no delete or upload button once you already have uploaded an image to the app detail page(unsbumitted state). There is no way to remove it or change it so you are stuck with it? help?! Tried in safari and chrome...no luck.
On mouse hover the image, you will see the Edit link
I created application and uploaded icon for it but the icon does not appear on search result page:
http://www.facebook.com/search/results.php?q=Gammafish%20Poker&type=apps
What should I do for it?
The image that is displayed in that search results page is not the icon.
In the apps settings page, where you can change the icon, there's also the "profile pic" (or what ever they call it), hover the mouse over it, you'll see that the text "edit" is then showing on the image, click it and upload the image you want to be displayed as the app "profile pic", then you should see it in those search results.
Edit
I checked a bit more, I was wrong, the image in the search results is not the "app profile pic", that is being displayed (for example) if you hover the text link.
I'm not 100%, but it looks like that pic in the search results is taken from the app page, for us it uses an old profile picture of the app page.
You can set up the "App Page" in the app settings, the "Advanced" tab, the last item.
i've upload an icon to app in dev area on facebook, but in post that created via app i see another icon http://platform.ak.fbcdn.net/www/app_full_proxy.php?app=342798179094087&v=1&size=z&cksum=418d0035bf803448240c46f206d53fac&src=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FbFTnqd
but in my icon shows monkey not "214 apps", and i check an app id it is right.
please help me.
p.s. Sorry for my english.
check if your icon gets overridden by another image in your meta tags. you can check them easily here.
I am building a web application that is to be run by adding the app to the home screen. Currently it has a list of users, clicking on a user takes you to a detail screen for that user and on that screen is a notes link to take the user to another screen with a grid of notes and a text box to add more notes.
When any links are clicked/tapped, the link is opened in Safari, not the current full screen Safari instance. I tried setting the target of the link to _self, but this had no effect.
Any ideas?
I learned a full screen iPhone webapp can only be a single web page. Any link you try to open will launch Safari instead of replacing the current page. To combat this, I used asp.net postbacks with panels to hide/load/show requested data.
I use target="_webapp" and it works just use for example <a href="http://your.link" target="_webapp"> and it gonna open the link without exit landscape (full screen) i dont know why but with some of my webapps works and sometimes dont.
I want to place an icon on the iPhone screen form my application, like placing an icon and if i will touch that icon it will do the desired operation, like opening a sound file or an image.
So i want to ask is it possible to place an icon on screen through an application and do some events on it.
Regards,
Vishal
You can't do that. The only icon that will appear on the iPhone home screen will be the icon for your application itself.
Edit:
Expanding on the web shortcut idea suggested by Gene, it might be possible you achieve what you want by having a web short cut using a specific protocol handler to open your app with a web short cut added to the home screen. Take a look at this article:
http://www.mobileorchard.com/apple-approved-iphone-inter-process-communication/
I believe that would still require the user to add the shortcut though, I don't think a third party app can add web shortcuts.
I found it annoying that google maps cannot be page bookmarked onto the home screen. Here is an almost quick solution:
Create a Tiny URL of the target Google Map. SF Bay Area Traffic is http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=37.55111,-122.121277&spn=0.810034,1.182404&z=10&layer=t
Mail yourself the Tiny URL.
Select the URL in the email application.
Before Safari realizes that it is a Google Map url, touch the x on the url line to cancel the transfer to the Google Map App.
Touch the + at the bottom of Safari and touch "Add to Home Screen"
Name it appropriately and, there you have it, a Google Map entry on your home screen.
Andynormancx is correct. The only exception to this rule (that I know of) is a web shortcut -- within Mobile Safari, you can select "add to home screen", and a shortcut to the bookmarked page will appear on Springboard. The icon is a partial screenshot of the web page.
I don't know if this would be useful to you, though I suppose you could bookmark a link to a sound file or image.
What you can do is create an application and under ApplicationDidLoad in your ApplicationViewController.h
You would type in your code. (If you don't have the SDK, then don't post the question with the tags iPhone-SDK and Cocoa.)
In addition to Gene's answer, you may want to set the following meta tags:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="https://path/to/icon.png" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
