[Feature Request] iOS support
Any news about this feature?
Right now, it is strictly impossible, since Apple doesn't provide any API for this.
@g123k So I can't open another app inside my flutter app?
Yes you can, but the idea of this plugin is to be able to list all installed apps. Not necessarily to launch them.

How about this method?

sorry!!!
Thanks for this library! Running on Android works like a charm. I tried to cross compile my app to iOS for testing - and while see the main issue I thought, hey I return a mocked list. But the Application constructors are private only - any reason why?
Let me know if you accept PR's for this case.
The problem will this kind of library on iOS: the validation from Apple.
You can of course use all the APIs you want (even the hidden ones from Apple), but they won't be accepted on the App Store. That's the reason why this plugin doesn't implement such a feature.
Yeah, I see that point - my goal was to provide some help to simplify testing, thus provide a mocked app list. But for this I would need to create a new Application
object - but there is no public constructor available.
Another use case: I want to run a dev version using the web target - where I want to mock the "installed" applications
