iPhone - packaging multiple app in a single app

I would like to package multiple app in a single app. So donwloading one app and install that in an iPhone will install 3/4 apps. Something like java midlet suits having multiple Midlets in a single jar file. Is it possible by using multiple target or bundle, aggregate target etc.?

If you want multiple apps that can share data, keychain info etc there are ways to do that but leave them as separate app. It makes for a much cleaner user experience.

That doesn't make any sense on the iPhone.

You should look at In App Purchases instead.

No. Don't do this for a few reasons:

  1. I think it's a bad idea. [More on this below.]
  2. It cannot be done. Multiple apps cannot be installed as a result of one application being downloaded.

Some apps act like bundles of apps, but what they really are is a bunch of mini-apps built into a larger one. I highly discourage this sort of bundling. There are a lot of apps out there that say, “51 Tools All-In-One, Only $1.99!”, but these are incredibly trashy and are bought by unsuspecting noobs with no taste. Don't contribute to that.
