How to install iOS app on a real device for iOS Test Automation?

I am writing XCUITests for an app without source code. I have .app file of the app. I am using XCUIApplications init(bundleIdentifier:) method to launch the application. This works fine if I have the app pre installed on the device. If I don't have the app insalled, XCUIApplication fails to launch the app as it cannot find the build. How can I provide .app file of the app to Xcode to install and launch the application using init(bundleIdentifier:) ?
