This is the CFDictionary string representation which gets sent to Apple's server.The object can be obtained by using the MobileDevice Library, AMDeviceCopyValue function with the "ActivationInfo" value
<dict> <key>ActivationInfoComplete</key> <true/> <key>ActivationInfoXML</key> (base64-encoded activation info here) <key>FairPlayCertChain</key> (base64-encoded cert in DER format) <key>FairPlaySignature</key> (base64-encoded signature (SHA1+RSA) of ActivationInfoXML) </dict>
Key: ActivationInfoXML
The ActivationInfo plist file above has a key called ActivationInfoXML. The base64 data value of that key represents the plist file below
