How to get bundle id of iOS app - either using .ipa file or app installed on iPhone

Currently I have .ipa file and same app can be installed through test flight. I don’t have the app source code. I tried extracting the files from .ipa file using Archive Utility but there was no plist file. I am not sure how do I get the bundle id for this app- (either from .ipa file or by using the installed app and what is the process?) as i want to automate this app test on real device

(Note: .app file or source code is not available and the test app is signed with valid developer provisioning profile)

How can I get iOS bundle ID without XCode?

In the root folder of your project you probably have a file called Info. plist if you open this file in any text/code editor you can search by CFBundleIdentifier. The next line will show your Bundle ID. That's great!

Can two apps have the same bundle ID?

A bundle ID or bundle identifier uniquely identifies an application in Apple's or Android's ecosystem. This means that no two applications can have the same bundle identifier.

To find out the bundle id of any existing app:

  1. Connect your iOS device to your Mac with iOS wire
  2. Open the Console app on Mac
  3. Select your device under the Devices heading (top left)
  4. Enter the name of your app in the search bar
  5. Now launch the app in your iOS device
  6. You will see the first log in the console like SpringBoard Bootstrapping com.xxxx.xxx.kids with intent foreground-interactive
