Which file types are not supported for upload by WildFire?

WildFire is a cloud-based malware analysis service that Palo Alto Networks uses to analyze files for potential threats. Each file type that can be uploaded to WildFire has to meet certain criteria regarding its format and compatibility with the analysis processes.

In this context, iOS applications, which are packaged in a specific format known as .ipa files, are not supported for direct upload to WildFire. This restriction stems from the fact that iOS is a closed operating system with strict application guidelines, and thus, the analysis of iOS applications requires different handling compared to Windows or Android apps.

On the other hand, Windows applications, Microsoft Excel files, and Android apps are typically supported for analysis by WildFire, as they conform to the upload standards that WildFire has established for assessing threats. This support allows WildFire to scan these file types effectively for malware and other security threats, offering protection for various platforms.
