iOS Question How can i get a list-of-all-installed-apps?

[Wolfgang Trageiser]

in my app i will check/search - if some Special apps are installed.
for example, i want to know is the Amazon-app or is the Facebook-app installed on the device (on which my app is running).
in B4A this is very easy - but in B4i...?

You cannot get a list of the installed applications in iOS.

However if you are looking for specific apps and those apps have registered unique url schemes then you can use App.CanOpenUrl to check if an app is installed.

If App.CanOpenURL("fb://") Then
 Log("Facebook is installed")
End If

As this feature was "abused" by ad networks, Apple allows you to query to up to 50 different schemes: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ios-9-important-changes.59457/#content

I know the post is very old, but it is the one that told me how to check if the app is installed on iOS. I hope this list of applications helps the next developer who comes with that same question.
