iPhone application - perform post-install tasks or pre-populate core data

Question

Is there a way to perform operations during the install phase of an iPhone application? I think this would be the most ideal time to perform tasks such as populating data stores (using core data). Or is there a more convenient way to:

1. pre-populate data
2. perform post-install tasks

Answer 1

I don't think there is such a way, but you can do it by setting a boolean variable which is true only when the app is run for the first time and at that time you can pre populate the required data.
