Bundle ID for App Group & PluginKit directories - abrignoni/iLEAPP GitHub Wiki

iOS apps use multiple directories both to keep user generate data and share it among other apps. Many of these directories contain a file named .com.apple.mobile_container_manager.metadata.plist. This file contains the bundle id (internal app name) responsible for the directory in question.

This information is important because these directories are named in a GUID format. The metadata plist within them provide the bundle ID name even if the app has been deleted.
