How can I find the version number of an iPhone app from the IPA?
Do the below from your terminal
//Unzip the file unzip YourIPAFile.ipa //Open payload folder cd Payload //Open your .app file cd yourApp.app //Open the plist file open Info.plistYou can find the version under Bundle version key
There's a better way than PlistBuddy and grep:
unzip -d unzipped-ipa MyApp.ipadefaults read "$(pwd)/MyApp.app/Contents/Info.plist" CFBundleVersionrm -rf unzipped-ipaIt's worth noting that using defaults read requires an absolute path to your app.
Unzip your ipa file
unzip YourIPAFile.ipaFollowing plistBuddy command prints Bundle Version
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c print Payload/NAME.app/Info.plist | grep CFBundleVersionCFBundleVersion = 1.0
Following plistBuddy command prints BundleVersion String
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c print Payload/NAME.app/Info.plist | grep CFBundleShortVersionStringCFBundleShortVersionString = 1.0
