  • 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
