You need to reverse work .

1 . You need to change .ipa extension to .zip

2 . Now you can watch .app file now drag this file to your device from Windows > Device

Another way for creating of ipa

If you want to work this ipa file then you need to create ipa as below:

  1. Add necessary profiles and adjust build settings.
  2. Set device as target to run the application.
  3. Build the product.
  4. Go to Products->yourAppName.app. Right click and show in finder.
  5. Drag & drop to itunes profile and binary file.
  6. Select app in iTunes and right click to show in Finder. And there you can get the .ipa file.

To test your app on real device you need a developer account,once you got a developer account just go to general on project target and enable automatic signing,it will create automatic provisional profile and certificate for you.i will let you know the steps below.

 1)Get developer account with 99 dollars per annum.

 2)Import your developer account by selecting Xcode->Preferences->Accounts and add your account by entering account name and password.

 3)Now goto general and enable automatic signing,it will register your device and create provisional profile with certificate automatically.

4)Clean build and run your project with your device by connecting to Xcode.

To test an app on real device ,you must have development and adhoc provisioning profile for the app.

To know how to create certificates and provisioning profile, you can check this link: App id, certificates and provisioning profile

Then set the provisioning profile to your app target. If everything is right so far, then create an archive by Choosing Product -> Archive in Xcode and follow the steps. When Organizer window open in this process, tap on Export, appears on the right side of the window to extract the IPA file.
