Retrieve the list of installed applications

Starting from Android 11 (API level 30) or higher, the system filters the information about the other apps that are installed on a device by default.

Some packages are visible automatically, but if you want to list all installed application, you'll need to declare the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission in your manifest.

While using this permission, if you publish your app on Google Play, your app's use of this permission is subject to approval.

🔑 Minimum required license level: Core.

📝 Permissions needed in the manifest:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" />

    <queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        </intent>
    </queries>
