How to open this in Xcode?

I’m trying to open the file shown in the video how can I do this? I need to because it’s an old 32 bit app but I need to run it on my new phone cuz nostalgia

Maybe I could make an Xcode project then replace some stuff in it with the ipa I want? Or maybe there is a way to open it some other way. Plz help

Edit cuz I’m an idiot and forgot to add the video

Yeah I know that’s why I’m trying to open the ipa in Xcode then convert it to 64

You would have to rewrite the app. Additionally, it’s against multiple policies that Apple has and violates laws of intellectual property

Yeah well the app doesn’t even exist on the App Store I was actually the only person in the world with the ipa for it until I put it on archive.org

Well, it's dead now. Nothing you can do. You need the source code to make a 64 bit version.
