Get provisioning profile from iPhone local files

We signed an Enterprize application with a provisioning profile. And launched the application on an iPhone device.

My question is:

How can I get the provisioning profile from that iPhone? Can I get to the files using USB? Or there is a way to programmatically get the profile file data?

You can try to extract the IPA from iTunes using this technique. Or, if you already have the original ipa that was installed to the device, even better.

Once you have the .ipa, you can change the .ipa extension to .zip and extract the contents. On a Mac, in Finder, you should get a folder called "Payload". Inside that folder will be a .app. Right click on the .app and choose "Show package contents". Inside the .app is a file called embedded.mobileprovision. That is the provisioning profile that was packaged with the app when it was build, and subsequently installed on the iOS device when it was installed from the .plist/.ipa.
