I have Mac OS Sierra. Unfortunately, I cannot upload my app due to a bug in Xcode 7.3.1 that makes it impossible to upload to iTunes Connect from Mac OS Sierra.

I have found a work around: Can I upload Xcode builds on macOS 10.12

However, it says I need to find my app's "archive" file. I believe that is the same thing as my app's .ipa file.

Where would my app's .ipa file be located?

They are stored here:

~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives

In that folder you will find a bunch of folders by date.

Alternatively, open XCode, go to Window -> Organizer. Right-click the archive you are looking for and select "Show in Finder"
