Check if an App is installed on iPhone

[Brandon_Johnson3]

Hi, I'm developing a game for iOS with Flash CS5.5 Air API's.

I need a way to detect if another of my Apps is installed on the device.

On xCode it's simple:

I add a custom URL name with the "url types" method and I check if is installed with this code:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"myApp://"]]

Is there a way to do this in AS3 with Adobe AIR for iOS?

Thank you all

Brandon

I thought to use this code:

txResponse.text = "neutral";

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myApp://");

try

{

navigateToURL(request, '_blank');

txResponse.text = "installed";

}

catch (e:Error)

{

txResponse.text = "not installed";

}

but what URL I have to use instead of "myApp://" ?

Hi, relaxatraja, thanks for your reply...

But what I have to write instead of "app" ?

My app name? My App ID?  What?

[George_Gevorgyan]

your app name which you added in *-app.xml file

but i guess it not dispatches error event if you putting wrong app name.

There is nice little native extension that uses iOS function canOpenUrl(). You can find it here http://www.saumitrabhave.com/2011/10/facebook-single-sign-on-for-air-ios.html

I used this little ANE, but now apple wants x64 support and this ANE is not updated. So topicstarter's question is opened again...
