I have few questions. I am very very new to Ionic3 and Hybrid application development.

I have developed a Ionic3 Angular4 hybrid application. I am using Windows OS 10 64 bit. So I have built .apk file and I have done the testing in my android mobile. it works as expected. Now its the turn for IOS app.

Question# 1: How can I build IOS .ipa file?

Question# 2: Suppose if I have built .ipa file (as per the solution for my Question#1), is it possible to move the .ipa file to my Iphone and install as what I have done for Android?

Question# 3: Do I need a developer code/key for testing the app in my own Iphone device without downloading it from App Store?

Question# 4: What are all the things I need to do for deploying both .apk and .ipa file in the respective stores?
