How to detect if Safari is disabled on iPhone

Question

How can you detect whether Safari has been disabled by parental controls on the iPhone? I know it is possible because the App X3Watch refuses to work until Safari is disabled. As far as I can see there is no api for the parental controls, so what technique can be used for this?

Answer 1

I haven't tested this, but is OS3.0 and later, you can detect if a URL can be opened by any application on the system using [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:myURL]. I'll betcha it will return NO if Safari is disabled.
