Where is my iOS Provisioning Profile in my Mac and how to read the content?

If you are working on iOS development, you must work with Provisioning Profile. One of the trouble points is it is hard to remember and find where is it.

The reason is that the name of provisioning profile has become a digital file name. You cannot use Mac search function to find that.

What is the folder path?

Open your Terminal and then paste the below cmd.

cd ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles && open .

The above cmd will go to the folder location and open Finder in UI. However, you can only see a list of digit because Apple has encrypted the content If you use Sublime or other text editor to open the file. So, what can we do?

How to view the content of the file?

You can use the below cmd to read the file information.

/usr/bin/security cms -D -i <your file name>.mobileprovision

You can find the app name, profile creation date, name of provisioning profile, etc.
