I have a couple of questions related to app distribution and security, and I would greatly appreciate your clarification:
Is it possible to install an .ipa file—specifically one that is downloaded from the App Store—onto an iOS Simulator by any means? I understand that iOS and the iOS Simulator are different platforms, and typically apps built for devices do not run on simulators, but I want to confirm whether any workaround exists that could allow this.
Is it possible to extract the application file (e.g., from a jailbroken device or otherwise) and install or run it on another physical device or the simulator? I am trying to evaluate the security implications of our app package being transferred or misused across devices or environments.
Your insights will help us better understand the boundaries of app security and deployment within Apple’s ecosystem. Thank you in advance for your time and support.
