Moved to the development forum.

I'm going to guess that this isn't possible. It looks like some apps are encrypted with DRM and others aren't. If yours is, good luck because I don't think it'll be possible.

Not possible no. The IPA is compiled code and at best you can disassemble it, but you are not going to be able to generate sources from it.

Are you not using some source control system like GIT/SVN to keep track of your code? If not, you should seriously consider doing it..
