How to know .ipa created from Adobe Flash Professional-CS6 is 32- or 64-bit??

Unzip the ipa and then execute the following command.

file Payload/<somename>.app/<executable> and if it says  Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures, that means your ipa is universal.

Sample Output of file command:

Payload/ShipSim.app/ShipSim: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures

Payload/ShipSim.app/ShipSim (for architecture armv7): Mach-O executable arm

Payload/ShipSim.app/ShipSim (for architecture cputype (16777228) cpusubtype (0)): Mach-O 64-bit executable

I have unzip the ipa and it's appeared like as follows:

Payload/<App-Name.app>/

But this .app file is not execute on MAC-10.8. Whereas in windows-7, there are multiple files inside of .app file.

So how can I verify??

Hi,

On Mac, right click on <App-Name.app> and click “Show Package Content”.

You need to run file command on App-Name.app/App-Name.

Thanks Govind for your reply.

I could not able to run the <App-Name> file on MAC. Kindly share me the execution details of that file.

Hi,

<App-Name> file is meant for iOS device so it won’t run on your mac machine.

You don’t need to run <App-Name> file. You just need to check if this file is 64-bit executable or not.

There are two commands to check architecture type of an executable

1- file <App-Name> (Please note file is a command, try man file to get more details )

2- lipo –info <App-Name>

Thanks

Thanks Govind for your valuable reply.

I am getting "Mach-O executable arm" info after using "file" command.

Is this define 64-bit architecture?
