AppIndex is an app manager for jailbroken and TrollStore compatible devices.
If you’re interested in an app for your iPhone or iPad that can parse all the other apps on your device and give you interesting details about them, then you might be interested in a utility called AppIndex by iOS developer Serena.
As indicated in the package image, AppIndex is classified as an App Explorer/App Manager app with unique features such as:
- Analysis of applications on the device
- Sort apps by type (System/User)
- Search apps by name or package ID
- View extensive information about each app
- Application backup
- Restoring app backups
- Export applications as files. ipa
As you can see in the screenshots above and below, the AppIndex provides information for every app you might be interested in, especially if it’s hacked, including the following:
- Package ID
- Type
- Date and time the application was downloaded
- Version
- The version of the SDK that the app was built with
- iTunes metadata such as vendor, genre, and age rating
- Minimum iOS Version Required to Run the App
- Application size, package size, documents size, and group container size
- App Stations, whether it’s amazing, beta, containerized or limited
- Extended information about apps, such as whether they’re compatible with the iTunes File Sharing feature, whether they’re from the App Store, and more.
- Rights
- Registered URL schemes
- Description of usage for privacy requests
- Transportation Security Exceptions
- Registered Generic Type Identifiers
- Combining or grouping container paths
- And more…
Not everyone will need the AppIndex, but it contains some potentially useful information for developers and those who need more than an app icon and a name for their workflows.
AppIndex supports both jailbroken devices running iOS and iPadOS 15.x-16.x and non-jailbroken devices running TrollStore’s permanent signature utility. TrollStore supports devices vulnerable to the CoreTrust bug, including iOS and iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1 (and some 15.5 and 15.6 betas).
If you’re interested in trying out AppIndex for yourself, you can download it for free from the Chariz repository on jailbroken devices via the package manager app, or from the GitHub project page on TrollStore devices.
