An Objective-C iOS framework that detects installed apps on a user's device by probing URL schemes via canOpenURL: and enriching results with the iTunes Search API. It was a 2011 proof of concept and is no longer viable since Apple restricts excessive canOpenURL: usage.
Use cases
- detect which apps are installed on an ios device
- check if a specific app is installed via url scheme
- research ios app detection techniques
- enumerate installed app ids from url schemes
- look up detected apps in the itunes search api
When to choose
- studying historical ios app-detection techniques
- academic or security research on url scheme probing
- maintaining a legacy codebase that already relies on it
When to avoid
- shipping a new app to the app store - apple rejects canOpenURL: misuse
- needing reliable app detection on modern ios versions
- any production privacy-sensitive feature
