Download IPA file from Apple app store

Sometimes it is important to download an ipa file from iOS app store to examine the app resource and configuration, or re-sign the ipa file for testing purpose.

The following steps can be used to do so

1. install Apple Configurator 2 on your mac.
2. From Top menu bar, select Account and add your AppID account
3. Connect your ios device
4. In the current window, click "add" button and select the app you want to download
5. When the dialog asks you about "Would you like to replace it with the one you are adding", from Finder, goto the below folder and search for the ipa file just downloaded. Copy the ipa file to a different folder for you to use, then click the stop button

~/Library/Group\ Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Assets/TemporaryItems/MobileApps
