Icon generation at App Startup

I'm a new Apple Developer doing design work on a few ideas.  My questions are:

1.  Can an App program read a file "external" to itself (not in the App program itself) and change the number of icons painted on the screen at startup?  And if so, can the icon names and pictures be changed by whats in this external file?  Here is an example....  I'm looking to design one App that the screen "appears" different for each user of the program.  Lets say User 1 wants his screen to show his picture and 5 icons on his screen with info unique to him... User 2 wants 2 icons with his info.... User 3 wants 9 icons with their data displayed.  The key here is none of this is "hard coded" in the App programming itself, but held in a user file (maybe a CSV file), that is read at startup and then paints the screens accordingly.  Otherwise, I need 3 different apps to complete this idea.  I hope this makes sense to some of you out there!!  Thanks so much for any input you might have!

Re: Icon generation at App Startup

Yes, you can provide the the ability for the user to configure how information within your app is displayed. Example: In the Music app, the user can specify which tabs should appear in the tab bar. A CSV file is probably not the best approach. Read the Preferences and Settings Programming Guide.

iOS Certificate Pending Generation

So I'm completely new to the iOS Developer Program and am trying to get a certificate so I can test my app on my iPhone. I followed the steps I found in the App Distribution Guide and requested for a new certificate in XCode. When I did this, it didn't complete the whole process, instead, in the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles page in Member Center, it says that my certificate is pending generation. What does this mean? I'm sorry, but I'm completely new to this and have no idea what is going on.

How do I connect the 4th generation iPad to an in house stereo system?

I would like to play Pandora songs and my iTunes from my iPAD over my home stereo system, which includes a Yamaha receiver.  The receiver has spare inputs that I can use (seems to require at least two male inputs), but it's not clear to me what type of cable I would need to go to the stereo and back through the lightning connector. 

Once the connection is established, can I assume that activating the "aux" portion of the stereo would automatically allow the input from the iPAD?

Many thanks.
