mprovision

A command line tool to manage local provisioning profiles. Mostly useful in iOS development or for mobile CI/CD engineers.

Usage

Type mprovision help in your terminal to see the list of subcommands and options. Most of subcommands work on ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles directory by default but you can specify a full path using a --source argument.

Use cases

1. See all profiles in your system

mprovision list will show the list of all provisioning profiles installed in your system.

2. Search and Remove

• The list subcommand accepts an optional argument -t or --text that allows you to filter the list of provisioning profiles by some text.
• The remove subcommand removes one or more profiles by their uuids or bundle ids.

3. View details of a provisioning profile

The show subcommand followed by uuid of a provisioning profile allows you to see details in xml format. Alternatively, you can use show-file subcommand if you know exact path to a file.

4. View profiles that will expire soon

The list subcommand accepts an optional argument -d or --expire-in-days followed by a number of days and shows the list of profiles that will expire. For example, the mprovision list -d 0 command will show profiles that have already been expired.

5. Remove expired profiles

The clean subcommand removes expired provisioning profiles.

NOTE: you can see provisioning profiles that will be removed using the mprovision list -d 0 command.

6. Number of profiles

There is no special command for that but you can use the following hack:

mprovision list --oneline | wc -l

7. Extract provisioning profiles from an ipa file

Use the extract subcommand and pass source and destination.

mprovision extract MyApp.ipa MyApp/
