Question

Is there any way to be notified, or otherwise run some code in an app, when the app is installed, but hasn’t yet run? I’d like to send a notification to our server when the app is installed. Note that I’m not looking to do something the first time an app is run, but rather right after it’s installed.

I’m guessing that this boils down to wanting to auto-launch the app in some way after install, which seems like something Apple would not allow. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Edit: Let me try to make this question sound a little less silly/impossible. I’m not trying to run code without running code. I’d like to figure out if there’s a way to get a timestamp of when the app is downloaded, as opposed to when the user first launches it.

Thanks!

I doubt that this be even technically possible. How do you want to run code without — well, running code?
