Distribute in house iOS app to customers without distributing source code

We created a IOS app and want to distribute it to our customers. The problem is that we can't give them our source code and they can't give their private key to us. How can we distribute the iOS app to our customers? We now have three different customers.

Can we create an ipa without code signing, then give it to our customers and let them code sign the .ipa file?

Just give them the IPA. It's probably easier for it to be signed with your key than not at all - it doesn't matter if it is already signed. The IPA can be unzipped like a normal zip file and then re-signed with the codesign tool as shown in the answers to this question. They can then re-zip it to obtain a properly-signed IPA file.

You can use Testflight, for example. Or Ad-Hoc distribution.
