Apps iTunes & Bundle Metadata

Brigs edited this page Oct 5, 2020 · 1 revision

The /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/ is the directory is where the .app lives on the device. There's some additional data we can track here about the application itself and who downloaded it onto the device. Along with the .app, there's an iTunesMetadata and BundleMetadata plist file that can list out information such as when the application was downloaded, what version of the app was downloaded, and what AppleID actually downloaded it.

The .com.apple.mobile_container_manager.metadata.plist file provides the bundle ID.
