IOS – How to extract audio files from an app

audioiosipad

Is there any way I can extract audio files from an iOS app? Would jailbreaking be required?

This would be relatively easy on Android, but I cannot figure out how to get the app onto a PC.

The reason I want to do this is simply because I have an iPad app that has some very nice alert sounds, which I would like to use for my desktop alert sounds, phone notifications and terminal bell (personal use only).

Use Apple Configurator 2 to update the app on your iOS device, but before disconnecting the iOS device, copy the iOS app out of the Configurator's temporary directory. See:

for how to find this directory. If the media assets of an app are not encrypted or obfuscated, you can sometimes find them by unzipping the .ipa file.
