ipa-metadata

extract metadata and provisioning information about an .ipa file

Inspired by the ipa info in shenzhen, but I wanted more general metadata information about the .ipa. I created a quick Bash script, but thought I could do a better job with a small NodeJS module.

The CLI is very useful for quickly checking the entitlements of an .ipa file (--verify), and two types will be returned from the module:

• .app bundle with codesign
• embedded.mobileprovision with security

See "Checking the Entitlements of an .ipa file" for more information

Note: the severe lack of naming convention in the properties, I'm preserving their original naming - see #7.

Note: the parsing of entitlements only works on OS X because of codesign, provisioning profiles will still be parsed correctly.

Install

$ npm install --save ipa-metadata

Usage

varipaMetadata=require('ipa-metadata');ipaMetadata('Facebook.ipa',function(error,data){console.log(data);// { metadata:// { CFBundleName: 'Facebook',// ... },// provisioning:// { TeamName: 'Facebook Inc.',// ... }},// entitlements:// { application-identifier: '1234abcd.com.facebook.facebook.',// ... }}});

CLI

$ npm install --global ipa-metadata

$ ipa --help
Example
ipa Facebook.ipa
ipa Facebook.ipa --verbose
ipa Facebook.ipa --verify
(verifies entitlements between `.app` bundle and `embedded.mobileprovision`)
