I still remember the days downloading IPA files from AppStore is very easy through iTunes. But Apple has removed AppStore from iTunes in version 12.7.
These days, to download IAP files you have to use Apple Configurator 2. It has to do many steps to download an IPA from the App Store, And you can't do it on windows.
The steps:
Install Apple Configurator 2
Login with the Apple account which used to install the application before
Connect your device to MacBook.
Add the application that you want to download the IPA file.
If it has been installed on your device, the message box will be displayed. Note, Don't select any button on that message box.
Open folder
~/Library/Group Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Assets/TemporaryItems/MobileApps/to find out your IPA file.
That's all.
P.S
In my case, my client raised an error when they updated the application through AppStore. Then they required me to give them the commercial IPA file to keep track.
