  1. Create a folder named Payload.
  2. Copy Myapp.app (from products of your project) into the Payload directory.
  3. Right click and Compress the Payload directory.
  4. Rename the zip file to Myapp.ipa.

** Update ** This answer is very old. Use Xcode to build .ipa archives now. (Product > Archive)
