## Sample iOS & Android app to demonstrate an issue with the capacitor/app-launcer plugin on Android
See the issue here : [https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor-plugins/issues/1744](https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor-plugins/issues/1744)
-----------------
#### sample app id
`com.kosso.applauncherissue`
- To test this app, please ensure you have both the Twitter/X & Facebook apps installed on iOS and Android test devices.
This sample app will use the documented `AppLauncher.canOpenUrl()` method to test to see if the Twitter/X and Facebook apps are installed on iOS and Android. The results are shown in the app window.
To do this, we test for the URLs : `twitter://timeline` and `fb://feed`.
The test JS code resides in `./js/test-app.js`
#### Results (with both Twitter and Facebook apps installed on the devices)
---------------------
#### Result iOS
---------------------
#### Result Android

```
### Platform(s)
Android
### Current Behavior
I need to test if the Twitter/X and Facebook apps are installed.
On iOS, the code provided below works as expected and returns `true` if both apps are installed.
(In order to make this work on iOS, I also needed to add the `LSApplicationQueriesSchemes` to Info.plist containing an array of strings including `twitter` and `fb`.)
On Android however, the code below returns `false` for both apps, despite them being installed.
I have tried adding the required entries to AndroidManifest.xml to allow querying the packages:
```
```
I have also tried adding this permission :
```
```
### Expected Behavior
I expect the result to be `true` when the apps are installed on the device.
What am I missing?
### Code Reproduction
```
import { AppLauncher } from '@capacitor/app-launcher';
AppLauncher.canOpenUrl({ url: 'twitter://timeline' }).then(data => {
console.log('AppLauncher : Is Twitter/X installed? ', data.value);
});
AppLauncher.canOpenUrl({ url: 'fb://feed' }).then(data => {
console.log('AppLauncher : Is Facebook installed? ', data.value);
});
```
