I guess the answer will be this isn't possible, but I'd like to confirm and double check:
Is it possible for an app to be installed without an icon? If so, could the app make it appear at a later stage programatically?
Could two differing icons both launch the same app?
In the app store:
An app must be represented by an icon on the home screen. Without an icon file you get a white rounded rectangle with a glossy shine. If you later update it you can change the icon file.
Two app icons cannot launch the same app.
Are you familiar with home screen bookmarks? When the user bookmarks a website. With that and app URL schemes you could have two icons, but the user would have to add it themselves.
Outside of the app store
I'm unsure about how this could work on a jailbroken device.
The app icon is part of the signed app so can not be changed. I seriously doubt Apple would approve an app with a blank icon.
Unfortunately the answer to ALL your questions is no. Your second bullet point would be interesting but Apple definitely isn't going to let that happen!

I'm working on an iOS app that requires a custom keyboard. I'd like some help in knowing if I am allowed to create a custom keyboard for my app only and if I'm allowed to set a custom height on it as well. I've never worked done anything with creating custom keyboards for my app only, and would appreciate if some guidance were to be provided on how to go by starting this if this concept were to be acceptable by Apple. Thank you for your time.
Totally acceptable inside your app! and there should be no acceptance criteria for that!
You can even make a custom keyboard to use outside your app (I developed two myself), however there are acceptance criteria for that (like having a button to switch to another keyboard).
Hope that helps!

when i am start video calling and press home button in red pop up is display on home screen.how to hide this red pop up in home screen.I have search but not getting and solution.
iOS turns the bar red as a service to your end-users, reminding them that that their audio or video is currently on. This serves as an alert of potentially being recorded by the app running in the background. This reminder makes it harder for them to start and forget a running app, potentially letting others to "spy" on them.
The only way to not have that bar when the user switches to home screen is to not run your app in the background with the microphone turned on.
This behavior is controlled by iOS platform on its own. Background modes which are using critical system resources (Microphone, locations) shows a "Bar" (red/blue) when the app is running and still using the resources. You can't hide this bar from your app code.

I tested 2 of my apps on my iPhone today. The first one went fine and worked and nothing happened. The second one was working at first however it crashed my whole phone and there is a black screen. I pressed Siri button it works and all, but no pixels or brightness just black screen. Is there anyway to fix this problem or do I have to go to the Apple Store or get a new iPhone. It was my first time testing. Someone please help me.
Not a programming question. But try holding down the home and power button at the same time for 15 seconds. That usually works.
Try holding the power and home buttons for ten seconds. Your iPhone will then reboot, hopefully fixing the problem.

I have to display an image in the home screen with all apps icons programatically within the application for testing whether the image suits for the screen.Any ideas? Would be much appreciated!!
Sorry but iOS does not let you set a wallpaper programmatically or provide any way of knowing what is in the user's home screen.
The only solution I can think for your problem would be to create a simulated home screen yourself so you can show how the wallpapers look with the icons on top.
Maybe have a app icon library and let the user choose which app icons to simulate on the home screen. Although this would require a lot of maintenance to keep the icons up to date and it will probably be more trouble than its worth.

I've got an iOS project from a customer that the app should run on lockscreen mode. Please check the below link which the customer shared with me.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weather-lock-screen-free/id433369569?mt=8
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lockscreen+/id437555991?mt=8
I don't want to use jailbreaking method. So if its possible please let me know what are the steps to develop the app.
Does your customer understand that applications do not run on the lockscreen? The examples linked just make pictures that can be set as the lockscreen background. The portion shown on the lockscreen cannot have any buttons, functions, or anything that ever changes, as they are just pictures.
If you would like to proceed with making pictures, you would simply create an image of the appropriate size (whatever the device's resolution is) and format the contents so it fits nicely underneath the lock screen. Then save the image and instruct the user to set it as their background.
