Apps
List, launch, quit, install and uninstall apps on your device, and download or replace an app's data.
The Apps tab of the Inspector lists the apps on your device, with their icons. Launch, quit and remove them without touching the device.
1. Open the Apps tab
- Show the Inspector with the toolbar button, or press ⌥⌘0.
- Click the Apps tab.
Use the picker at the top to show All, Developer, Removable or Apple apps, and the filter field to find an app by name.
2. Manage apps
Right-click an app:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Launch | Opens the app on the device. |
| Terminate | Quits the app. |
| Copy Bundle Identifier | Copies the app's bundle ID. |
| Uninstall… | Removes the app from the device. |
To install an app, click + at the bottom of the list and choose an .ipa or .app file. Installing apps is part of Device MCP Pro; launching, quitting and uninstalling are free.
3. App data
For apps you install for development, for example from Xcode or with Build & Run, you can work with the app's data, such as its documents, settings and caches:
- App Data Container → Download… saves a copy of the app's data to your Mac, in a format Xcode can open.
- App Data Container → Replace… puts saved data back on the device. It's a quick way to start a test from the same state every time.
- App Data Container → Show in Finder shows the last download.
