There is also sysctl(), which returns running process info. Not the full installed app list, but arguably more useful and bonus it doesn't rely on app urls.
Strange. Seems like anything other than built-in apps should be anonymized in what's returned here. Is there a reason it isn't? Just something that's not allowed but slips through the review process?
It's a lower-level c-api, so perhaps it's slightly harder to scan for in the submitted binaries?
Its overdue blocking/nerfing, and you can start the countdown for that now. (As others have noted). Hopefully it will be anonymized but not completely nixed; it provides legitimate debugging info.

Didn't know this--thanks for the explanation.
