Send an app through airdrop with an iphone?

I read that air drop can send photos videos and apps i know how to send pics and vids but i want to know how to send apps thank you.

You just drag what ever you want to send on to the picture of the other computer. So just go to your applications folder and drag the icon over.

You can't send apps. Apps can't be transferred P2P as that would cause major legal issues with non free apps. You can send normal files for the most part.

On OSX on the other hand you can send whatever you want to another computer.

iOS 8 will change this as you can transfer to your OSX now through airdrop as well, but will probably still limit it to files and such.
