I think there's an issue with my app's .entitlements file when a .ipa is created and so I want to check the Bundle ID of the entitlements file. There's a fairly complicated build script I am using to change some stuff in there before building so I want to see what the final product is. I know that there used to be an Entitlements.plist that I could get off of the ipa but it doesn't seem to be there any longer. Is there any way to access the .entitlements file now?

You can however open an IPA file if you wish to. Use an unzip tool like Winzip or 7-Zip to decompress an IPA file and see the contents inside it. Typically, you will find an icon file for the app along with folders and data that make up the application.
Have them locate the . IPA file on their computer, then click and drag it onto their device's information in iTunes. This will install the file onto their iPhone, and if they unlock their phone's home screen, they should see it installing.
Open ENTITLEMENTS File on iPhone or iPad. To open ENTITLEMENTS File on iOS device follow steps below: Open Files app on your iPhone or iPad device. You can find it by swiping down on the home screen and typing "Files" in the search bar. Tap on the Downloads folder on the Files app home screen. You will see all files that you recently downloaded.
An app stores its entitlements as key-value pairs embedded in the code signature of its binary executable. You configure entitlements for your app by declaring capabilities for a target in Xcode. Xcode records capabilities that you add in a property list file with the .entitlements extension. You can also edit the entitlements file directly.
Copy each IPA file to wherever you want to archive them indefinitely. Then you are done! If you ever need to re-install an archived app, just open Apple Configurator, connect your iPhone to the computer, and simply drag the IPA file from your archive in the Finder window and drop it on your device in the Apple Configurator window.
An App Installer file is an XML document (*. appinstaller) that contains app package and bundle information for defining the packages that are part of a related set. How many apps does the average iPhone user have installed?
For those getting here via Google, the Information Apple provides at https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/qa/qa1798/_index.html is a lot more recent. Specifially, after unzipping the IPA:
Display the entitlements in the app by running:
codesign -d --entitlements :- "Payload/YourApp.app"
and display the provisioning profile by running:
security -D -i "Payload/YourApp.app/embedded.mobileprovision"
