iOS Provisioning profile hell begone

In plain words

iOS Provisioning Profile Hell Begone is a macOS app with QuickLook plugin that helps iOS developers inspect and manage .mobileprovision files. It reveals which apps provisioning profiles are for, which device UDIDs are provisioned, and other key details. The tool addresses the pain of manually managing profiles across multiple client projects. It includes a QuickLook plugin for quick file inspection directly in Finder.

In the maker’s words, at launch

I'm sure I'm not the only iOS developer who has torn out my hair dealing with provisioning profiles. Manually managing them in the iPhoneOS 2.x, 3.x days or Xcode's "automatic" management have always been painful, especially when doing contract development for multiple clients. I made this app + quicklook plugin for…

  Every morning I'd open App Store Connect in Safari, enter my password for the millionth time, then wait 8 seconds for the dashboard to load and continue fumbling around for what I needed. Everything took too many clicks and way too long to load. I did this for years and got tired of it. Good thing Apple provided API access for all this data. So I finally built the app I wanted, just the way I liked. Fast, keyboard-friendly navigation, data syncs and gets stored only on the local device. Meet AppDesk — a native macOS client built with SwiftUI for App Store Connect. Everything runs locally —…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
