  • Backup Functionality: Some SUPP files hold encrypted backup data for apps, a method also detailed by Deciphertools.

In the context of Xcode, it's a supplemental resource file containing additional data or assets required by the app. It can also appear as an encrypted supplemental data file when backing up iOS app data.
