This article provides multiple methods for finding the Bundle ID for an app on macOS or iOS.
Locating Your Bundle ID
For iOS Apps Using a Computer When You Have The .ipa File:
Unzip the .ipa file.
Inside the unzipped folder, navigate to Payload > [AppName].app > Info.plist.
Open the Info.plist file and look for the CFBundleIdentifier.
For macOS Apps:
Option 1: Finder (macOS)
Locate the app in the Applications folder in Finder.
Right-click the app and select Show Package Contents.
Navigate to Contents > Info.plist.
Open the Info.plist file using a text editor or a plist viewer.
Look for the key CFBundleIdentifier – the value next to it is the app’s Bundle ID

Run the following command in Terminal:
mdls -name kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier /Applications/AppName.appReplace AppName.app with the actual name of the app. The output will show the app’s Bundle ID, e.g.:

Option 3: Use System Information (macOS)
Press Option and click the Apple menu, then select System Information.
Go to Software > Applications.
