Apple used to make it super easy to get the IPA version of any app on your iPhone just by syncing the device with iTunes, but ever since, that's no longer possible. Now, whenever you need to dig into an IPA file, whether it's to reverse engineer it or simply to look for the URL scheme name for or app icon customization, you'll need to use another Apple app on your Mac.
The app in question is called, and it's available for free the Mac App Store. It's primarily used by schools and businesses to install mobile device management profiles on iOS devices and to quickly configure a large number of devices at once with the data, apps, and settings of their choosing. But you can also use it to update your iPhone, rearrange icons on your home screen, and more. Don't Miss: For this guide, we'll just be focusing on getting the IPA files of apps installed on your iPhone. Once you've on your macOS system (sorry, there is no Windows version of this tool), you can use the steps below to download and save IPAs on your computer. However, this will only help you download IPAs of apps that have updates available for them that you haven't installed yet.
That means it could be a waiting game since you'll have to wait until an update comes out (if one ever does) for the app you want an IPA for before using the steps below. Step 1: Disable Automatic Updates (Optional) To take full advantage of this method, you should disable automatic updates on your iPhone so that the app you need the IPA file for won't update on its own. If it does, you'll have to wait until the next update comes out to use Apple Configurator 2 to get the IPA file.
On your iPhone, open up the Settings app, select 'iTunes & App Store,' then make sure 'Updates' is toggled off. I also suggested turning off Wi-Fi on your iPhone right before following the rest of the steps below, that way it's unlikely apps will update on their own at all.
I've had automatic updates turned off and still had apps update on their own, so turning off Wi-Fi temporarily could help in these cases when it's not working properly. Step 2: Log into Your Apple Account Open up the Apple Configurator 2 application, select 'Account' from the up top, then choose 'Sign In.' In the popup, enter the Apple ID that matches what your iPhone is using, then hit the 'Sign In' button.
Next, enter the password for the account, then hit the 'Sign In' button one more time, and that's it for this step. Step 5: Locate the IPA Files Once the updates have concluded, you'll have to dig into your user library files to find them. The easiest way to do this is to open up your Finder, select 'Go' from the menu bar, then 'Go to Folder' (or just use the Command-Shift-G shortcut instead). In the box that pops up, paste the below directory path inside, then click on the 'Go' button and you should be taken right there. /Library/Group Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Assets/TemporaryItems/MobileApps. Alternatively, you can select 'Go' from the menu bar, then choose 'Library.' If you don't see 'Library,' hold down the Option key.
If you've, just use the keyboard shortcut Command-Shift-L to jump there. Then, go to Group Containers – K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator – Library - Caches - Assets - TemporaryItems - MobileApps. Once you're in the 'Mobile Apps' temporary folder, click on the folder within it (or any of the folders within it, if you see more than one). Each one of the randomly numbered folders within it will be an app, so just browse each of those folders until you see the IPA file hidden inside of the app you're looking for.
And that's all there is to it. You know how IPA files for the app you need. Now you can turn them into ZIP files (just by changing.ipa to a.zip extension), unzip it, then start browsing the files contained within for what you need. For instance, if you need, you'll have to open the app package contents, then hunt for the PLIST file that has the URL types listed. Don't Miss:. Follow Gadget Hacks on, and.
