I can run it great in the simulator and I have my Dev Cert already installed and my device provisioned. I just need an IPA to click on to add it to my iTunes. Any ideas?

Once you do that it'll be on your phone for testing etc but not for distribution. It'll not be adding it to iTunes for you like that until release, unless you are one of those JB'ing types and just want your app on your phone. Make sense?

I want to put the app on my iphone/ipad and my employees for testing. I thought xcode would generate an IPA for this.

Before you build for iPhone select the project in xcode, then in second pane select target then scroll down third window and assign your dev cert. You can assign additional testers later or even go for an adhoc distro once you get it all working. Make sense? Comments Sounds like you have to sign the build.
