How could I create a shortcut on desktop in iOS through an app

I want to know if it's possible with the iOS API to put a web page on the home screen (in Objective-C). A specific event to catch ? A "magic" function ? :)

Thanks :)

  • Don't think so, but if you're already showing them a web view in Safari, you could do something like http://cubiq.org/add-to-home-screen to guide them through the process. – Rob Aug 08 '12 at 03:21

Nope, apps can not do anything outside their sandbox.

As the answer to this question explains, you can launch your page you want to save in Safari and provide users with instructions to save the page from there, then use a url to switch apps back to your app from Safari afterwards, but you can't add a webapp to the springboard from your app itself
