Get ipa file from xcode with itune

1. build the xocde project,
2. from Finder go to the product build folder to get the project's package,  for example
/Users/i826633/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/fiori-dktztqbnspcsocekrhfgynaddvhg/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/myproject
3. from iTune, select your device, then select App icon on top left tool bar, (it may hide in ... menu item), the app list shows and take the full window
4. select File->Add library menu, and select the project package file
5. after the app shows in the main app list window.
6. right click on the application just added, and select show in finder menu item
7. the ipa file should be in the opened Finder window

Note you can also view the content of ipa file, as the ipa file is actually a signed zipped file of the application bundle, just rename it to .zip and any zip utility is able to unzip it to a package folder.
