What is an IPA file?
In short
An IPA is an iPhone or iPad app: a ZIP with the app bundle, its Info.plist and its signature.
The app’s ID, name, version, minimum iOS, devices and provisioning profile, read from its Info.plist, then every file inside.
How to open an IPA file
- Add your IPA. Drop the file in the box, choose it or paste it.
- Look at it. The app’s ID, name, version, minimum iOS, devices and provisioning profile, read from its Info.plist, then every file inside.
- Take it further. Download any file from inside an archive, or open another file.
