I am trying to recover an old CoPay multi-signature wallet and want to find the keys that were on a device as a co-signer. I still have the physical iPhone, which has been upgraded and restored several times, as well as many backups of the iPhone. So far as I can tell, these keys were not stored in the backup, but perhaps I am mistaken.

If the keys are not stored on the backup, where were they kept on the device?

The backup should be your "recovery phrase",
I don't how many words BitPay used when it was CoPay but it should look like a random set of words consisting of 12 or 24 for standard phrases, sometimes more or less.

I can't find the phrase. So am trying to find a file containing the keys on the physical device.

Can you still open Copay when you restore a backup of the iPhone? It's okay even if it can't connect to servers.
It's old and these might not be accurate but try to export an offline backup:
  • Tap settings icon and then tap the wallet name to open wallet options.
  • Tap "More options" and then "Export Wallet"
  • Type your password and your backup phrase should show up or exported into a text file depending on your selection.

If Copay isn't accessible, I can't help any further.

CoPay is on the phone but not showing the prior wallet. That is why I am trying to figure out exactly where in the file system of the phone the keys were kept.

So you are looking for data path or directory where you can find the data for Copay that includes private keys?

I don't know what is the exact name of the file but you can check the directory path

Code:
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/

Or this

/var/mobile/Applications/

Check that folder and look for the copay folder. Use some tool like 3utools to access that directory path or use iBrowser.

However, I believe that you can't easily find the wallet file for Copay IOS they mostly hide those important data for privacy. The only way to find those hidden data is to Jailbreak the unit.

the root is at /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application and then there's a folder with strange UUIDs corresponding to each app. You could install the iVim app and open Terminal using :terminal to view the path, but you won't be able to view other apps' folders using this, so you should try to extract them from your backups instead.

If your backups were made from iTunes and not iCloud and they weren't encrypted (if they were you can try making another right now), then you can try dumping the manifest.db file for the backup which has the names of all the files inside including your CoPay files.
