I'm making an iOS app that needs to know when other apps are opened. I thought this would be impossible until I saw the app 'Catchr', a security app that reports what apps an intruder on your iPhone has accessed. It runs when open in the background and on the developer website it states 'The Catchr team has developed a clever, multi step algorithm that accurately detects the apps that have been started or terminated'. I'm looking for an idea of how to get similar functionality in order to detect when an app is opened. As this is not standard in an app it may require some sort of hack. Any help is appreciated.
