Download shared App Group Container from XCode


Afaik this is not possible with official software. There is also no third party tool I know of to do this.

There are some workarounds that may be helpful to:

  • You can access the shared app group folder when testing with the iOS Simulator. SimPholders can open the folder directly, so you wont have to search around for it.
  • You could copy the contents of your shared app folder to your app’s default folder. This way you can download the contents using Xcode’s Organizer.


If you have source code of the debugging the app, you can follow this answer and copy the file to from AppGroup to sandbox container and then download.
