About IPA
An IPA is the archive Apple's App Store delivers an app in. It is a ZIP holding a Payload folder with the app bundle, which contains the compiled code, resources and a code signature. An IPA only installs on devices its signature allows.
IPA is an Apple installer, and an unsigned or re-packed copy will not install. IPA is what iOS apps are delivered in.
