Answer 1

Not with documented methods. Why do you want to know what other apps the user has installed anyway?

With undocumented methods, you could use (usual warnings apply):

1. SpringBoardServices:
   • SBSCopyApplicationDisplayIdentifiers(false, false);
2. GraphicsServices:
   • GSSystemCopyCapability(kGSApplicationInstallationCapability);
3. liblockdown:
   • ... lockdown_copy_value(kLockdownNotificationApplicationInstalled); ...
