I am tying building a php/bash/mysql system for automating adhoc distribution for iPhone apps. But I want to read the application-identifier key in mobileprovision file of projects and change it info.plist file according to that.
I can currently build ipa files from php IF the cfbundleidentifer key is same as its provision file.
I found a code like this https://gist.github.com/711794 but I want bash script to integrate it to my system.
Thanks
If your running this on a machine with mac os x, you can use the following:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :Entitlements:application-identifier' /dev/stdin <<< $(security cms -D -i path_to_mobileprovision)
If you want to extract the plist from the mobileprovision in a proper way and not rely on grepping/sedding/etc., you can use OpenSSL as follow:
openssl smime -inform der -verify -noverify -in file.mobileprovision
A complete example in your case could be:
openssl smime -inform der -verify -noverify -in file.mobileprovision > tmp.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :Entitlements:application-identifier' tmp.plist
The OpenSSL part should work on any platform, although I've only done that on a Mac so far. PlistBuddy is only on Mac, but other utilities can be found to read/write property list files.
One solution among many...
Use egrep with the -a option, which treats binary files like text files and '-A 2' which will display the two lines after the string you want to match: ApplicationIdentifierPrefix.
After that, trim the line of brackets and whitespace using sed.
Using a series of pipes:
egrep -a -A 2 ApplicationIdentifierPrefix file.mobileprovision | grep string | sed -e 's/<string>//' -e 's/<\/string>//' -e 's/ //'
I created a bash function based on jlawrie's answer to list all .mobileprovision's bundle IDs from the ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles
folder.
Save this into your .bash_profile
and just call it with list_xcode_provisioning_profiles
from a terminal.
list_xcode_provisioning_profiles() {
while IFS= read -rd '' f; do
2> /dev/null /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :Entitlements:application-identifier' /dev/stdin \
<<< $(security cms -D -i "$f")
done < <(find "$HOME/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles" -name '*.mobileprovision' -print0)
}
It is mildly tedious, since a .mobileprovision is "PKCS #7 signed data" or so.
Fortunately, you can probably get away with using grep :)
I used the code from mobileprovision-read repository to be able to pull information from the mobileprovision file. This uses macOS APIs to read the file.
Here is the usage from running the generated program:
mobileprovision-read -- mobileprovision files querying tool.
USAGE
mobileprovision-read -f fileName [-o option]
OPTIONS
type – prints mobileprovision profile type (debug, ad-hoc, enterprise, appstore)
appid – prints application identifier
Will print raw provision's plist if option is not specified.
You can also use key path as an option.
EXAMPLES
mobileprovision-read -f test.mobileprovision -o type
Prints profile type
mobileprovision-read -f test.mobileprovision -o UUID
Prints profile UUID
mobileprovision-read -f test.mobileprovision -o ProvisionedDevices
Prints provisioned devices UDIDs
mobileprovision-read -f test.mobileprovision -o Entitlements.get-task-allow
Prints 0 if profile doesn't allow debugging 1 otherwise
