What is Info.plist in an IPA?

Info.plist is the configuration file inside every iOS app that defines its properties, such as version, display name, and required permissions.

What is IPA Metadata?

Every iOS application (.ipa) contains a designated file called Info.plist (Information Property List). This file acts as the app's DNA, storing critical configuration data such as the Bundle ID, version number, required device capabilities, and privacy permissions.

Our IPA Metadata Viewer extracts and visualizes this complex data into an easy-to-read format, allowing developers and enthusiasts to inspect the inner workings of any iOS app without needing Xcode or a Mac.

Key Metadata to Inspect

🔒 Privacy Permissions

Check exactly what data the app requests access to, such as your Camera (`NSCameraUsageDescription`), Location, Contacts, or Photo Library.

🆔 App Integrity

Verify the **Bundle Identifier** to ensure you are installing the genuine app and not a modified clone with a spoofed ID.

📂 File Structure

Browse the internal file hierarchy of the IPA to see included assets, frameworks, and resource files without unzipping.
