How to detect if Facebook app is installed on iOS? [duplicate]

01-07-2022 - |
Question
On iOS, you can launch the Facebook app and link to a profile by opening a url like this: fb://profile/12345
The only problem is that if the Facebook app isn't installed, nothing happens.
Is there a way to detect if the app is installed or if the url scheme fb:// is supported?
This would apply broadly to other apps like Twitter as well.
Solution
OTHER TIPS
Try just using the canOpenURL:
function
NSURL *fbURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"fb://"];//or whatever url you're checking
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:fbURL])
{
//open it etc
}
