It kinda depends on what you mean by “installed”? For example, if an app is sitting in user A’s home directory and you’re logged in as user B, and thus can’t access it, is it installed?

Anyway, if you only care about about apps that you can ‘see’,

urlForApplication(withBundleIdentifier:)

is a good start.
