Apps like Icon Project show that you can let your app make a homescreen icon with a link to a website. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?? I dont know where to start.

Icon project submits data to a php based website which then shoots out an html to your browser ... This html is nothing but a web app which is cached and stored to your homepage ... information on setting the web app icon and caching can be found on http://sixrevisions.com/web-development/html5-iphone-app/

I just downloaded the App and it was indeed that stupid ;-) Thank you for the time to answer. So basically, what I want to do is that if someone clicks on a link in my application it will be asked if it want a home screen icon of that link, that wouldn't be possible from within the app? – Mark Nov 14 '11 at 12:59

No, you cannot do that directly from the app ... u will have to redirect the user to safari and from there the user will have to add the icon to home screen ... – Mohit Athwani Nov 15 '11 at 14:37
