Apple does not provide an API for getting a list of installed apps, this has todo with privacy reasons. Your only option is to check app scheme of your apps. – rckoenes Nov 13 '17 at 09:56

That's not possible with the public API, it's forbidden by the Apple development guidelines and that's a serious slur to user privacy. The most you can do is to check the presence of other of your apps. – Crazyrems Nov 13 '17 at 11:30

You can't access Other third-party apps or System Apps features or permissions via your app. There is no public API available to do so.

And in fact Apple does not want 3rd party apps to be able to do this. If you found a way around the limitation, Apple would remove your app from the app store and work to shut down your work-around in a future OS release. – Duncan C Nov 13 '17 at 14:16
