AppList is a library for fetching app information. As described on its package page in Cydia: "Allows developers to query the list of installed apps and provide a preferences pane based on that information. Exports displayIdentifier, displayName, icon and smallIcon via a remote messaging center so that it's easy to write a prefs pane that presents a list of apps."
Usage
To get an array of applications and their display identifiers, do the following:
ALApplicationList *apps = [ALApplicationList sharedApplicationList];
NSArray *displayIdentifiers = [[apps.applications allKeys] sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(id obj1, id obj2) {
return [[apps.applications objectForKey:obj1] caseInsensitiveCompare:[apps.applications objectForKey:obj2]];}];
[displayIdentifiers retain];
This gives you a list of all the apps in alphabetical order by their display name.
To get the display identifier and icon for a specific app at index {X} do the following:
NSString *displayIdentifier = [displayIdentifiers objectAtIndex:{X}];
UIImage *icon = [apps iconOfSize:{size here - see enums} forDisplayIdentifier:displayIdentifier];
enum {
ALApplicationIconSizeSmall = 29,
ALApplicationIconSizeLarge = 59
};
