- To test this app, please ensure you have both the Twitter/X & Facebook apps installed on iOS and Android test devices.
This sample app will use the documented AppLauncher.canOpenUrl() method to test to see if the Twitter/X and Facebook apps are installed on iOS and Android. The results are shown in the app window.
To do this, we test for the URLs : twitter://timeline and fb://feed.
The test JS code resides in ./js/test-app.js

I need to test if the Twitter/X and Facebook apps are installed.
On iOS, the code provided below works as expected and returns true if both apps are installed.
(In order to make this work on iOS, I also needed to add the LSApplicationQueriesSchemes to Info.plist containing an array of strings including twitter and fb.)
On Android however, the code below returns false for both apps, despite them being installed.
I have tried adding the required entries to AndroidManifest.xml to allow querying the packages:
<queries>
<package android:name="com.twitter.android" />
<package android:name="com.facebook.katana" />
<intent>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<data android:scheme="twitter"/>
</intent>
<intent>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<data android:scheme="fb"/>
</intent>
</queries>
I have also tried adding this permission :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" tools:ignore="QueryAllPackagesPermission" />
I expect the result to be true when the apps are installed on the device.
What am I missing?
import { AppLauncher } from '@capacitor/app-launcher';
AppLauncher.canOpenUrl({ url: 'twitter://timeline' }).then(data => {
console.log('AppLauncher : Is Twitter/X installed? ', data.value);
});
AppLauncher.canOpenUrl({ url: 'fb://feed' }).then(data => {
console.log('AppLauncher : Is Facebook installed? ', data.value);
});
