List<AppInfo> apps = await InstalledApps.getInstalledApps(
  // Optional: whether to exclude system apps from the list. Default is true.
  excludeSystemApps: true,

  // Optional: whether to exclude apps that cannot be launched (no launch intent). Default is true.
  excludeNonLaunchableApps: true,

  // Optional: whether to include app icons in the result. Default is false.
  withIcon: false,

  // Optional: filter apps whose package names start with this prefix. Default is null (no filtering).
  packageNamePrefix: "com.example",

  // Optional: filter apps by platform type (Flutter, React Native, etc.). Default is null (no filtering).
  platformType: PlatformType.flutter,
);

Get App Info

AppInfo? app = await InstalledApps.getAppInfo("com.example.myapp");

AppInfo Model

class AppInfo {
  String name;
  Uint8List? icon; // nullable
  String packageName;
  String versionName;
  int versionCode;
  PlatformType platformType;
  int installedTimestamp;
  bool isSystemApp;
  bool isLaunchableApp;
  AppCategory category;
}

Launch App

  audio(1, "Audio"),
  video(2, "Video"),
  image(3, "Image"),
  social(4, "Social"),
  news(5, "News"),
  maps(6, "Maps"),
  productivity(7, "Productivity"),
  accessibility(8, "Accessibility"),
  undefined(-1, "Undefined");
}

---

PlatformType enum

enum PlatformType {
  flutter('flutter', 'Flutter'),

  nativeOrOthers('native_or_others', 'Native or Others');
}

QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES Permission and Play Store Review

The QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission is required for some functionality of this package, but including it can cause Play Store rejections if your app doesn’t justify it. To handle this, either declare its necessity in the Play Store listing or use tools:node="remove" in your manifest to exclude it while still using the package (note this will limit visibility to all apps). For multi-flavor setups, you can include the permission in src/dev/AndroidManifest.xml for internal/dev builds and remove it in src/playstore/AndroidManifest.xml for Play Store builds, ensuring each flavor has the correct manifest without affecting core functionality.

Notes

• Android requires QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission for full app visibility. Ensure compliance with Play Store policies.
• All methods catch exceptions and return default/fallback values to prevent crashes.
• Platform type detection is heuristic and may misclassify some apps. Improvements are ongoing.
