Check if user has a specific app installed

Is there a way to check whether the user has an app installed on their device on iOS and Android?

On Android it should be straightforward.
On iOS, afaik you have to know the URL scheme of the app.
For both cases, a plugin is needed.
On Android if package is installed it is easy to check
But on IOS it is impossible to check package/bundle.
But if app implements some custom URL, then you can check if you can open custom URL, I think even Gideros
http://docs.giderosmobile.com/reference/gideros/Application/canOpenUrl
should do the trick.
So if other app is also yours, you can implement custom URL on both Android and IOS and check if it can be opened using canOpenUrl, thus you will know if your other app is installed.
