When we hit that "install now" button via the AppStore, I am curious what is the process behind getting the app onto the iPhone?
Does it download a compressed zip? pkg? and does a XCOPY equivalent ?
It downloads an IPA
file which is technically a zipped file that contains the app along with DRM signatures and other stuff. It deploys the app by copying the folder to /var/mobile/Applications/{GUID}/
.
