ProvisionQL for Mac

Product snapshot

ProvisionQL is a macOS Quick Look extension built to help mobile app developers inspect app packages and provisioning profiles straight from the Finder. Instead of opening separate utilities, you can preview key metadata for .ipa files and provisioning profiles with a single keystroke, which speeds up routine checks.

Key benefits

• Displays critical provisioning profile details such as expiration dates and entitlements so you can verify certificates and capabilities at a glance.
• Eliminates the need to launch extra tools by presenting rich previews directly in Finder, saving time during development and release workflows.
• Integrates natively with macOS, so it feels like a built‑in part of your file-browsing experience.
• Provides a clean, easy-to-read interface that makes scanning multiple app resources fast and painless.

How to use

To inspect an app or profile, select the file in Finder and press the Quick Look shortcut (spacebar). ProvisionQL will render a preview window containing metadata, signing information, and provisioning details without opening full applications or command‑line tools.

Who benefits most

This utility is especially useful for iOS and macOS developers, release engineers, and QA personnel who frequently handle app bundles and provisioning profiles and need to confirm signing and entitlement information quickly.

Recommended free alternative

Light Table (free) is a notable no‑cost option you can try if you prefer a different Quick Look enhancement. It also offers Finder integration and simple previews, making it a practical substitute for users seeking a free solution.
