Basically, As you know there is no event is fired when App is deleted from the iPhone.

But you can do your tasks when the app installs so basically you can check application by sending the silent push notification.

Apple server will inform you when you try to push to an uninstalled instance the notification response at the sender side will come 410 means, user, no longer activate.

APNS REQUEST/RESPONSE

If you do not get the proper response from application side that means your application is uninstalled and you can send the mail.

  • If user is not using the app and only remain in device, in this case i have to send silent notification on daily basis. It can be very lengthy and expensive process. – Shah Nilay Aug 11 '17 at 05:58
  • You have to work with background task, I mentioned the link above. – Salman Ghumsani Aug 11 '17 at 05:59
  • Yes, i checked the given link. In this link all about push notification. If i have million of installation of my app. At that time i have to send silent push notification for each million device on daily basis. Now, you can think it is a proper way? – Shah Nilay Aug 11 '17 at 06:03
  • Basically, You have only one way to do that, also you can filter only those application ex:- who do not hit any web service from last 24-hour. Also, there is no problem because you can measure that WhatsApp sends num of notification to each user and they have 700 million users in world wide. – Salman Ghumsani Aug 11 '17 at 06:11
  • sorry to say that, it is not a proper way. Because it can be possible that many apps we are not using daily basis. so don't required to call a webservice. And some strange thing can be possible is that if user is not used my app from last week or month. and i will sent a mail that "you are uninstalled my app". Is this correct way? – Shah Nilay Aug 11 '17 at 06:18
