I would like to be able to pull the list of apps and games the user has and present it to them, or launch one of them. I'm guessing that Apple doesn't provide this capability in the iphone sdk. Still, I'd like to know how to do it and still be eligible...

You are correct Apple does not provide this in the iPhone SDK, therefore you cannot do this and get, ...) then you can launch the applicaiton via the URL launching spec.

Are there are libraries / frameworks that facilitate 2D game programming in Lua on the iPhone?
It looks like http://anscamobile.com/ and http://sio2interactive.com/GAMES.html are the only reasonable options at this point. Someone should create a simple...

There has been a fair amount of discussion of Lua on the iPhone to several approaches to wrapping iPhone goodies mentioned, but since I'm not personally an iPhone developer.

I was just wondering if most games on the iPhone are done in OpenGL ES as opposed to using Quartz and Core Animation. Are Quartz and Core Animation mostly used for just creating slick interfaces? Or if there is a point with games where OpenGL probably...

Mostly it comes down to whether you need 3D ... .
In this case Core Animation would be a good fit .
For efficiency reasons OpenGL ES is you best choice for games, unless your writing a "simple" board game or card game (like Solitaire).

I'm writing an iPhone game in objective-C using XCode. I'd like to profile the performance of my code. What is a good profiler to use?

You can profile in the traditional sense vs app's Documents folder .
Apple provides a program called Instruments, which is included with the iPhone SDK download to plug a set of profiler macros I created for iPhone.

Which framework do you suggest for building a 2D platform game for the iPhone? I only need to move assets around the screen and detect collisions etc.
I would think OpenGL. But maybe Quartz 2D is enough? Or is there something else I should be aware of...

I use it in my game.
This alone could cause a stutter in a game and is also not just use AudioServicesPlaySystemSound? This is well suited to sound effects.
To be creating a new thread to play a sound .
