How can I add an additional icon to the Name/Lable of app, just the like snapshot of my test device Home screen (see highlighted Water app, in the attached screenshot). You can see that there is a small icon at the end of App Name/Label.
PS: I'm not sure, if its part of the Application icon, or there is some way to add an additional icon to App Name/Label.
Thanks!
This is an Emoji character. See Emoji on Wikipedia and iOS: Understanding emoji for more information about these. They are special unicode characters that are very popular in countries like Japan. iOS has support for these throughout the OS, and you can see these characters on the Wikipedia page by visiting it with Safari.
You can put these characters into the "Bundle display name" (CFBundleDisplayName) of your Info.plist (or InfoPlist.strings) and they will appear correctly on the home screen of the device:
I'm not sure if this is officially allowed by Apple.

I have checked the Secure Text Entry and entered
"pwdTextfield.isSecureTextEntry = true"
as the code.
Therefore, I can see the asterisk well inside password text field of my app.
However, just by mirroring the screen or recording the screen, it only becomes white and the asterisk is invisible.
Is there anyone who knows how to solve it?
This is powerful of UITextField with secure field enable provided by Apple.
It hides data for screenshots and video records to preventing sensitive data leakage.
I am currently building an application for commercial use, but I want to be sure my Icon loos correct in the My Apps screen on the television. As of know I only see the default developer icon. I have replace the icon with my own in my project. I co see Icon in the recent pop up menu, but it is missing from My Apps.

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
Is it possible to prompt the user if they want to save a URL to their desktop (as a desktop shortcut icon) on the iphone or android? I've seen this in the google calendar on the iphone... a little prompt slides up from the bottom of the screen asking if you want to install the google calendar app, but I'm pretty sure it's just a google calendar desktop shortcut.
The best solution I've found for iDevices is the Mobile Bookmark Bubble found here: http://code.google.com/p/mobile-bookmark-bubble/
This is a small javascript library that adds a pop up bubble at the bottom of your iDevice screen and points to the '+' button.
I haven't found a good solution for Android since there are so many steps. If anybody finds one, please let me know.
Add:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="...">
to the HEAD element of your document.

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.

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" />
