How to check if device has TikTok installed in device?

Question

I want to check if a device has TikTok installed. Currently I am trying with:

func canOpenTiktok() -> Bool {
    if let url = URL(string: "tiktok://app") {
        if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
            return true
        }
    }
    return false
}

but that always returns false, regardless of whether or not Tiktok is installed.

Is there a way to check?

Did you include the URL in the `LSApplicationQueriesSchemes` in your `info,plist`? — Paulw11, Feb 09 '21 at 12:35

Update the info.plist adding LSApplicationQueriesSchemes and under LSApplicationQueriesSchemes add TikTok
