Usage
Check out the example app in the example folder.
; // To check by app name:AppInstalledChecker ; // To check using URL (works on iOS and Android):AppInstalledChecker // omit the :// suffix // To check using package name (Android only):AppInstalledChecker ;
You can retrieve the list of supported app names by calling AppInstalledChecker.getAppList()
or check in app-list.js. If your app is not in the list, you will have to find out the URL scheme or package name and use either isAppInstalledIOS(url)
or isAppInstalledAndroid(pacakge-name)
.
Android package names can be found on the Google PlayStore. For example, the URL for the Twitter app is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twitter.android the package name is the value of the id query parameter, i.e. com.twitter.android.
iOS URL schemes can be found by googling or checking this unofficial registry: http://handleopenurl.com (site seems down at the moment)
