Programmatically uninstall iPhone application

Question

In my iPhone application, I wanna show term and condition of my company to user and ask user to agree or not if first time application load. If user doesn't agree, I want to uninstall my application from user's iphone. Is it possible?

Answer 1

No but you can prevent the user going any farther into your app unless they accept the terms.

They will manually uninstall if this is the case.

Answer 2

No, there's no way to do this from the API. The best you can do is lock down your application if the user doesn't agree to your terms.

Answer 3

Why will you like to do that ? I will suggest that your application should not proceed ahead and keep on giving the dialog of acceptance. So user will not be able to use your application till he/she says yes. Let the user install/unistall the app if he/she wishes. This also gives your application the opportunity of getting accepted by user at some point of time in the future.

Answer 4

hm, I think apple had an ToS for the applications that appears on the app store. Then, Why would you like to do that..?

I think all you have to do is create an splash view/screen for the first time the app launch to show to the user about your company rather than trying to create an uninstall script.
