is possible dynamically figure out position of app's icon on home screen of iphone/ipad?

sorry don't have plenty credit comment yet i'm posting here.

to knowledge no cannot natively or this. know of no open source or other libraries. reason beingness app exists in own world, not in touch per rest of device. can permissions read , write info doesn't know of itself.

does create sense?

when open website cannot know tab in browser. instead knows how accessed , device (physically) using it. knows user-agent, time, browser, etc because info sent in request. in turn phone on launch gives info app in how handle not illustration how many other apps running, or on screen. it's not considered relevant run time. in add-on it's security feature in preventing app deleting or altering other apps, itself. if have iphone notice siri cannot turn off google maps navigation or other non-apple specific app. apps natively comparable , private party ones (ex apples) accessible because apple did intentionally. know of own existence , each others. non-native in sense of apps not come preinstalled , manufactured company creating device less trustworthy, in add-on there no guarantees how run device, be, or other apps there.

it true app can request app may comparable user handle information.

may inquire curiosities sake why trying this? there other workarounds?

however in terms of beingness physically possible, yes. uncertainty apple allows independent developers however. illustration of occurring may gridlock user can move apps around differently on screen. app in case has ability access app position. believe in case app position ui , not nested files. apps cannot knowledge modify info outside of own file. imagine if had app edit other games scores.
