convert 1 row as column and concatenate the results to the corresponding column

Question

I have 2 tables

table 1 - apps

-----------
id  | name
-----------
1   | abc
-----------
2   | sdf
-----------
3   | dfg
-----------

table 2 - contacts

------------------------
id  | cnt_type  | cnt_id
------------------------
1   | manager   |    20
------------------------
1   | supervisor |  32
------------------------
1   | teamlead   | 45
------------------------
1   | teamlead  | 54
------------------------
2   | manager    |   20
------------------------
2   | supervisor |  32
------------------------

I need a view as below where cnt_type rows are represented as columns and the corresponding values are concatenated and group by the cnt_type per id...

---------------------------------------
id  | manager | supervisor  | teamlead
--------------------------------------
1   | 20      |    32       | 45, 54
--------------------------------------
2   | 20      |    32       |
--------------------------------------

Any help is greatly appreciated.
