Bug report

Prerequisite:

No map apps were installed, and default map app (Google map) is disabled.

Current behavior:

this.launchNavigator.navigate(...)

• Nothing happens; There is no error or message returned in the Promise even though the popup did not open.

this.launchNavigator.availableApps()

• Even though Google map is disabled, the response returned google_maps: true, which isn't exactly true because Google map not available for use.

this.launchNavigator.isAppAvailable('google_maps')

• Response is also true

Expected behavior:

this.launchNavigator.navigate() should return something to indicate that map app failed to launch.

this.launchNavigator.availableApps() should not return apps that are disabled.

this.launchNavigator.isAppAvailable('google_maps') should return false since the app is disabled.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Disable/ Uninstall all map apps in the phone.
2. Call this.launchNavigator.navigate()
   • Nothing happens
3. Call this.launchNavigator.availableApps()
   • Map app that was disabled will still be counted as 'available'.

Thanks for reporting. Disabling Google Maps isn't an edge case I'd thought of, but it should be possible to detect if it's been disabled: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14558066/777265

Tested and verified that availableApps() returns correctly.

Just FYI - If the map_app is enabled while the app is running, the map_app is still counted as not available (i.e. false) until the app restarts.
