Answer 1

In the old times you could have used canOpenURL with a library like iHasApp. This only works for apps that register custom deep link schemes, but it was capturing the majority of important apps.

But since iOS 9 there seems to be a limitation to this approach - see How to reset `canOpenURL` limit in iOS9?

In general your app is not allowed to know what else is installed in the system for privacy reasons.
