Are there more Appian Mobile Functions?

I have a few business requirements for our mobile development and I can't find any information that can help. The only mobile functions that I can find are:

isNativeMobile()

isNativePhone()

isNativeTablet()

So are there any mobile functions OOTB or from a plug-in that helps me:

- Know if a specific app has been downloaded on the users phone

- Open a specific app on a specifics phone

- What OS the device is using so I can send them to an appropriate app store (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Galaxy App Store if neither are an option, etc.)

First one is not possible for sure.

2nd one might be possible if you know of a method to deep link to that particular app. https://blogs.halodoc.io/deep-linking-using-url-scheme-in-ios/amp/

You might be able to sniff this by checking out the user agent associated to the user in the logs. You'd need a plugin like  [mention:fa4764f0636e49eb82d5fa29de67b46b:f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07] to do this.

This plugin just appeared in the App Market and I remembered this thread.
