Apple used to make it super easy to get the IPA version of any app on your iPhone just by syncing the device with iTunes, but ever since iTunes 12.7, that's no longer possible. Now, whenever you need to dig into an IPA file, whether it's to reverse engineer it or simply to look for the URL scheme name for Workflow or app icon customization, you'll need to use another Apple app on your Mac.

The app in question is called Apple Configurator 2, and it's available for free the Mac App Store. It's primarily used by schools and businesses to install mobile device management profiles on iOS devices and to quickly configure a large number of devices at once with the data, apps, and settings of their choosing. But you can also use it to update your iPhone, rearrange icons on your home screen, and more.

For this guide, we'll just be focusing on getting the IPA files of apps installed on your iPhone. Once you've installed Apple Configurator 2 on your macOS system (sorry, there is no Windows version of this tool), you can use the steps below to download and save IPAs on your computer. However, this will only help you download IPAs of apps that have updates available for them that you haven't installed yet. That means it could be a waiting game since you'll have to wait until an update comes out (if one ever does) for the app you want an IPA for before using the steps below.
How would someone install an iPhone app (.IPA) on an iPhone without a Mac or the use of iTunes? Also, if this wasn't already difficult enough, I don't have access to the iPhone.

For iPhone,you must have that device's UDID,and you have to create provisioning profile and certificate and add that UDID in the certificate and after that you will install the application in that particular device for testing.

If you don't want to use a mac o iTunes, the best thing you can try is TestFlight.
You send the ipa file to Apple, as you do when you want publish. But, attention: flag the option to release manually the app.
After this, the app isn't released until you do it manually. You can also decide to not publish it anymore and delete it.
Anyway, after you send the app in this way to Apple, you have 90 days to use TestFlight (https://developer.apple.com/testflight/).
TestFlight is a tool giving you the way to install your app on iOS devices without using both a mac or iTunes. You choose the iOS user and he will receive a mail with the step list to install your app (requiriment: install TestFlight on the iOS device).
