Check if an iPA is from the App Store
You may want to use certain functions such as image injection. However, for apps downloaded from the Apple App Store, instrumentation is not possible.
To determine whether an app is from the App Store:
-
Extract the
.ipa
. -
Look for the
embedded.mobileprovision
file. If it exists, it will be located in the same folder as theinfo.plist
file.If the file exists, the
.ipa
file is not from the Apple App Store.
