The only way to generate an IPA from you windows machine is by using a CI/CD service like Codemagic using the steps described in this article:

1. link your repository (Github, BitBucket , or Gitlab).
2. from settings > build for platforms > IOS
3. change the .app file you received to .zip and extract it.
4. You will find a file called Runner.app, put in a folder and compress it back.
5. change the extension from .zip to .ipa.

And here's your first IOS build without a Mac device.
