  • I have.
  • No you have not.
  • Yes I have.
  • No you haven’t.
  • Yes.
  • No! Why don’t you just…
  • Look, I’m sure. Can you generate it again?
  • Ok, I will. Wait… ok, it’s done.

MacMotion brings something to relieve the pain (slightly) of dealing with Apple Provisioning Profiles, and it uses one of my favorite OS X features, QuickLook.

After installing MacMotion's new QuickLook plugin Simply press the spacebar on any .mobileprovision file in the finder and instead of some boring 1 line summary, you'll get something like this:

It also has some great enhancements to Finder icons to quickly tell you if a profile is valid or not.

You can download the plugin here (at the bottom of the post).
