iOS get Configuration Profiles that are installed

The app I am currently working on requires the use of Configuration Profiles in order to connect to a server to download XML. The certificates are distributed in the form of .p12 files, and they can be installed in the settings app in the iPhone like the bottom-left image.

The problem is that all over the internet people are saying that this is impossible.

HOWEVER, Junos Pulse can do this(bottom-right image).

It is only reading the Configuration Profiles which is exactly what I need.

I did not have to install them into the Junos Pulse app. Adding them to the system, and launching the app is enough for my profiles to be recognized.

Thanks for your help :)

The reason the Junos app is able to do this has been explained in a post in the Apple Developer Forums.

To sum it up, access to this is not provided in the SDK and is by invitation from Apple only.

You won't. Your application is sandboxed, read the iOS App Programming Guide. Developer profiles are not public information for applications to access.
