I just installed, and it's not working for me. I looked at some of your other issues to try to find troubleshooting information. When I try

qlmanage -p foo.mobileprovision

I get:

I'm on Catalina 10.15.6, and Xcode 11.6

I'm having trouble getting the plugin to work at all (for any of the supported filetypes) on my machine running macOS 10.15 Catalina. Install process goes fine, but whenever I quick look an IPA or an xcarchive, I just see the default quick look view.

Tried re-installing, but that didn't help. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot further. Is there a place I can look to see Quick Look errors?

Thanks for any help!

This will help debugging issues such as the following.

I tried reload the plugin. But it is failed load and it shows below warnings.

qlmanage -r dyld: warning, LC_RPATH @executable_path/../Frameworks in /usr/bin/qlmanage being ignored in restricted program because of @executable_path (Codesign main executable with Library Validation to allow @ paths) dyld: warning, LC_RPATH @executable_path/../Frameworks in /usr/bin/qlmanage being ignored in restricted program because of @executable_path (Codesign main executable with Library Validation to allow @ paths) dyld: warning, LC_RPATH @executable_path/../Frameworks in /usr/bin/qlmanage being ignored in restricted program because of @executable_path (Codesign main executable with Library Validation to allow @ paths) qlmanage: resetting quicklookd

hey, I can't make the ProvisionQL to work on macOS BigSur. I installed it via Homebrew

brew install provisionql

My Xcode is here

xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode-12.1.app/Contents/Developer

I did remove the default QL for:

rm /Applications/Xcode-12.1.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/DVTProvisioningProfileQuicklookGenerator.qlgenerator

qlmanage -r

qlmanage -m plugins | grep ProvisionQL.qlgenerator
  com.apple.iphone.mobileprovision -> /Users/jan/Library/QuickLook/ProvisionQL.qlgenerator (64)
  com.apple.application-and-system-extension -> /Users/jan/Library/QuickLook/ProvisionQL.qlgenerator (64)
  com.apple.xcode.archive -> /Users/jan/Library/QuickLook/ProvisionQL.qlgenerator (64)

But when I quick look an .ipa or a .mobileprovision, I don't get any preview

any tips?

Dark mode on macOS Mojave causes the text to change colors, but the background color remains the same, resulting in clashing colors which causes the text to become unreadable:

Using macOS 10.14 (18A389) with dark mode with the latest version of ProvisionQL (1.5.0), the preview displayed is hard to read due to the main text being shifted to a very light grey that blends in with the blur of the Quick Look window. This only occurs when in dark mode & colors are a readable black when in light mode.

This issue started to reproduce since latest update (s) of macOS.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles directory
2. Select any .mobileprovision or .provisionprofile
3. Press Space
4. Notice the QuickLook plugin renders the profile of your choice
5. With Down or Up arrow key change your selection
6. Notice the QuickLook plugin does not render the profile.

Workaround: I was able to overcome this issue by next steps:

1. Clone the repo and setup the project to run qlmanage process (even though LLDB cannot attach to the process b/c of SIP, Xcode still can launch it)
2. Open Activity Monitor and make sure qlmanage process is running
3. Do the steps 1., 2., 3., 4., from "Steps to reproduce"
4. When you continue to do steps 5. and 6. the issue still reproduce itself
5. However, when you change the focus of the active Finder window to some other Finder window and then change it back, the next provision profile file can be previewed by the QuickLook plugin.
6. Sometimes, you need to terminate the qlmanage process and start over again to continue to view profiles.

Taking into account "Steps to reproduce" and "Workaround" it might be a bug in High Sierra or in the plugin itself.

OS: macOS High Sierra Version: 10.13.3 (17D47)

I have a client for whom I deliver an app exported for Ad-Hoc distribution. It's key that I be able to see the device IDs that are provisioned in the app. ProvisionQL just shows a spinner for 15-20 seconds and then shows me nothing. ipaql works but I'd rather be able to switch to ProvisionQL because it does more. Any ideas?

I can arrange to provide you with a copy of the relevant .ipa directly if you want it.

This is definitely a better preview than the XCode one but the one thing XCode one does better is show the entitlements before the provisioned devices, when you have a lot of devices its annoying to have keep scrolling to the bottom to check them

Installing with brew seems to lead to permissions issues on Catalina 10.15.6

 brew cask install provisionql

When trying with sudo qlmanage -p embedded.mobileprovision, it works normally
