Depends what you actually need this for, if it's your own app and you're trying to recover data (not the app binary itself), you don't need to touch the encrypted IPA at all. Easiest path: connect the device, make a full unencrypted backup via Finder (Mac) or iTunes (Windows), then open that backup with something like iMazing or iExplorer , you can browse straight into the app's sandboxed file storage and pull the file out. If you're a developer testing your own build, Xcode's Devices & Simulators → Download Container does the same thing more directly. What app is this, and do you have a backup already, or are you starting from scratch?
