The new iTunes version 12.7.0 has missing Apps tab where all the iOS apps were seen. I'm looking for the new way.
Appreciate any help on this matter.

Why don't you use Xcode Archive? – rmaddy Oct 10 '17 at 16:44

I extracted .app from XCode archive. – user550088 Oct 10 '17 at 16:46

`.ipa` is for iOS, `.app` is for macOS. Which are you talking about? Also, you can export an Xcode project to `.ipa` inside Xcode only. Are you asking how to install the `.ipa` to a device? – LinusGeffarth Oct 10 '17 at 16:46

@user550088 Once you run Xcode Archive. Use the Export button on the archive to create the ipa. – rmaddy Oct 10 '17 at 16:48

@rmaddy I'm not a member of registered development team. – user550088 Oct 10 '17 at 17:00

Then have the developers send you an ipa instead of an app. Where are you getting an app anyway? – rmaddy Oct 10 '17 at 17:02

Got a solution.
XCode -> Archive -> Select project in Organizer -> Show in Finder -> Show Package contents -> Products -> Applications -> "Product.app".
Create a folder named "Payload" -> Put "Product.app" with in "Payload" -> Compress "Payload" -> Get "Payload.zip" -> Change name to "Product.ipa".
For installing instructions in iTunes 12.7.0 please follow this link.

Not sure if the question is valid, is the folder name "Payload" case sensitive? as sometimes the generated ipa does not get installed. – sabin Apr 09 '18 at 05:30

@sabin "Payload.zip" is just a wrapper name and eventually its needs to be changed to "Product_Name.ipa". Please try using "Payload.zip" and check your signing certificates. – user550088 Apr 09 '18 at 21:07

Could you install it after that or do you receive a msg that says "integrity of app could not be verified" – olscode Apr 27 '22 at 12:28
