How to find out what profile was used for building *.ipa file?

Question

Is it possible and how to grab that information about profile just from existing *.ipa file?

Answer 1

Below are step for getting profile details from an IPA file :

1. Change the extension of IPA to ZIP. This will prompt an alert whether to keep .ipa or use.zip. Go with Use .zip option

2. This will convert IPA to ZIP file

3. Extract the ZIP file by double click on it

4. This will create a folder with contents : Payload, SwiftSupport and Symbols

5. Goto Payload -> App file

6. Right click and ‘Show Package Contents’ for App file

7. This will show detailed content such as codeSign, localised file, framework, provision files etc of your app file

8. You can see provision profile details in embedded.mobileprovision. This file can be read only in txt file format. So add an extension .txt to file

9. Now open this file using textEdit. Now thoroughly go through this file you can see provision profiles for the IPA.
