HI,

I like to install the .app programatically from my application. I hope it can be done only through jailbrokken iPhones. Can anyone share some knowledge regarding this. I found a application called "CallMe" in cydia store. This application programatically installs the other one. Or how to install the iPhone applications (.app) file in the iPhone from the terminal. If we programatically execute those system commands, i hope it s possible to install the application programatically in jailbroken iPhones.

Awaiting for the reply.

A: 

As far as I know, you only need to download (somehow) and put the unpacked application in /var/mobile/Applications on the phone. Look at the existing structure (with a terminal, on a jailbroken phone) and follow it.

I have checked this blog , http://chrisalvares.com/blog/?tag=iphone-daemon , which says that .app needs to be placed in /Applications. I need the app icon to be placed in the Springboard also. So any idea or suggestion on programmatic installation and uninstallation would be greatly appreciated.
