    After getting the developer account you need to generate the signed cert and by using that u need to create the provisional profiles for development and distribution and u need to download that and u also have to create a bundle identifier which should be attached to that particular provisional profile 1.

This is how i did it in XCode 8. Refer to How to create ipa in xcode 6 without Apple Developer account?

Create Archive

Go to Organizer

Get location of Archive by Right Click and selecting Show in Finder

Now right click on this .xcarchive file and select Show Package Contents

Go to path Products > Applications > YourAppFile

Open iTunes's on Mac and drag-drop this YourAppFile from above path in Apps tab. (NOTE: Delete the previous app with the same identifier if any)

Now right click on your app under Apps tab of iTunes and select Show in Finder, this is your .ipa file !!!
