is there any way i can have an access to the name of applications that are installed in the current device in my app. is there any api's to get hold of this.

Solution

  • Not with documented methods. Why do you want to know what other apps the user has installed anyway?

    With undocumented methods, you could use (usual warnings apply):

    1. SpringBoardServices:
      • SBSCopyApplicationDisplayIdentifiers(false, false);
    2. GraphicsServices:
      • GSSystemCopyCapability(kGSApplicationInstallationCapability);
    3. liblockdown:
      • ... lockdown_copy_value(kLockdownNotificationApplicationInstalled); ...
