Is it possible to get other apps ICON?

Hey All,



Is it possible to get other App ICON through URL scheme or other approach like Android API getApplicationIcon()

as long as I know the application bundle and AppID.


Thanks,

  • Did you figure this out? How do you find another app's bundle in iOS?

I would first access the bundle:


https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/AccessingaBundlesContents/AccessingaBundlesContents.html


Then look at bundle structure


https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/BundleTypes/BundleTypes.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000123i-CH101-SW1


This may help as well
