Getting code signing identity on runtime ?

Question

Hi There, Is it possible to get code signing identity information at runtime ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Not likely. Why? Anti-piracy?

Answer 2

No, impossible.

Answer 3

Yes, you can get a lot of code signing information at run-time from the file embedded.mobileprovision:

[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"embedded.mobileprovision" ofType:nil]

There's a discussion about it in How to determine at run-time if app is for development, app store or ad hoc distribution?

It's not that easy to read the file because it is a DER-encoded ASN.1 file.
