I have an app installed on my iPhone and I would like to take a look at it's info.plist file. Since this is essentially a clear-text, config file, I was wondering if there was a way to obtain either the .plist file of the information from within it.
Can this be done?
iOS 6.1.4
There isn't any way to look at this information. What app are you referring to? Does it use Safari to access something? I would suggest addressing your concerns to the app developer. I suppose if it uses Safari, you could always look at your browser history for a URL.
The iPhone does not give you the ability to explore files. The only file exploring that you can do on the iPhone is when there are photos in the Camera Roll. You can connect the device to the computer and can get access to the photo folder. That is all.
I'm not familiar with this application. I would suggest checking with the app developer or their support site and see if anyone else has experienced this and has an answer, since this is not an Apple application.
That makes since. However, is there any way that I can explore certain configurations of my phone, that might have been applied by the apps that I've installed?
In my case, I think there is an app that has registered a custom URL. I'd like to know the custom URL schema that it uses. I don't necessarily need to see the plist. I just need to see what url schemas have been registered with my device.
No, the app doesn't use Safari. The app is AutoDesk Inventor Publisher Viewer. I think there is a way that you can have a publish Inventor file, and if you create a correctly formatted hyperlink, you can click on it and it will immediately open the file in the viewer.
I know that if you offer the file as a standard download, iOS will ask whether you want to open it with Inventor Pub. Viewer or save it to another app that can accept files. I would prefer to skip the prompt, and just open the viewer.
I've heard mention that this can be done with this application, but I can't find reference material anywhere.
Yeah, that would be nice. I may try it but, from what I've gathered, that's a long shot AutoDesk is a HUGE company. They make the 3d CAD software that almost all engineering firms use to make practically everything in existence.
I might try this, but others have asked and either AutoDesk hasn't responded, or they've responded once with partial information.
Unfortunately, that is what can happen with application support. If they won't help, this is why people will write bad reviews. It is their application and they have to support it, Apple cannot. Whether it is a huge company or not, if they produce an application, they need to support it.
Hope you are able to get this resolved.
Is there a way to get the info.plist info for an app on my iphone?
