How to open MOBILEPROVISION file?

An often recurring problem with IOS Mobile Device Provisioning Profile Format is that MOBILEPROVISION is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file MOBILEPROVISION to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MOBILEPROVISION file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install iPhone Configuration Utility

The first step is to check if the computer has the iPhone Configuration Utility program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name iPhone Configuration Utility in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MOBILEPROVISION files.

Step 2. Create association of iPhone Configuration Utility with MOBILEPROVISION files

If, despite the installed application, the MOBILEPROVISION file does not start in the iPhone Configuration Utility application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the iPhone Configuration Utility application as the default for handling the MOBILEPROVISION file.

Step 3. Update iPhone Configuration Utility to the latest version

If, despite the association of the iPhone Configuration Utility program with the IOS Mobile Device Provisioning Profile Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MOBILEPROVISION file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The MOBILEPROVISION file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MOBILEPROVISION files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MOBILEPROVISION file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MOBILEPROVISION files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MOBILEPROVISION file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MOBILEPROVISION file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MOBILEPROVISION files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MOBILEPROVISION file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MOBILEPROVISION to close. However, some background programs may block the MOBILEPROVISION file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
