QLProvision - Quick Look for ipa & provision

Inspired by a number of existing alternatives, the goal of this project is to provide clean, reliable, current and open source Quick Look plugin for iOS & macOS developers.

Thumbnails will show app icon for .ipa/ .xcarchive or expiring status and device count for .mobileprovision. Quick Look preview will give a lot of information, including devices UUIDs, certificates, entitlements and much more.

Xcode now have its own mobileprovision Quick Look plugin. Since it's application-provided it will override user installed plugins, including ProvisionQL.

ProvisionQL will still work for ipa and xcarchive, but if you prefer it also for mobileprovision, just delete Xcode's QL plugin here:

# before xcode 16
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/DVTProvisioningProfileQuicklookGenerator.qlgenerator
# xcode 16
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/PlugIns/ProvisoningProfileQuicklookExtension.appex

And run

qlmanage -r

Supported file types:

• .ipa - iOS packaged application
• .xcarchive - Xcode archive
• .appex - iOS/OSX application extension
• .mobileprovision - iOS provisioning profile
• .provisionprofile - OSX provisioning profile

可能遇到的问题

您可能会发现您无法在编辑器菜单甚至扩展首选项窗格中看到该插件。这似乎是由于在 App Store 之外安装 Xcode 版本引起的。如果发生这种情况，请打开终端并运行：

pluginkit -m -p com.apple.dt.Xcode.extension.source-editor -A -D -vvv

如果在此列表中看不到插件，则可以通过在 Terminal 中运行以下命令来重置插件列表：

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -f /Applications/Xcode.app

再次打开软件即可

如果系统设置的扩展里没有 Xcode 选项，可以尝试把 Xcode 重命名之后，再重启 Xcode。

**注意：**编译没有选择账号或指定证书时，会导致在 Xcode中不能显示，快捷键中也没有相应的选项。
