Does the .ipa file have the save data, and how can I use it?

[SonRK]

Just switched to the iPhone 6+ and I had a 5s. I don't care for much of my games except one. I found the .ipa file in the trash folder. I don't know why there are so many .ipa's in my trash folder (I use a Mac) but it's fine. Maybe it was my attempt to use iExploreer or maybe i had iTunes delete the old iPhone 5s backup.


Anyways, I recovered the particular app's IPA and moved it temporarily to my desktop. Is it useful or not really? I always like to start fresh with new phones, and with cloud data/saving, it's usually a non issue except for apps who just store it all locally on the phone.

So yea, does that .ipa have the save file? If so, how can I put it in my iPhone 6+

IIRC, when a new version of an app is downloaded and processed, the old ipa fle goes to the trash. Don't know where the app data goes though

The apps themselves never include user data.

Your user data (like stats, high scores etc) are stored on your iDevice and (if activated) in iTunes/iCloud Backups.
