Yes, you still can use it and update it, as long as you have the app installed on your phone and never removes it.
Since iTunes 12.7 removes the ability to store ipa files locally in the library, you need other utilities to restore that feature.

Do you use iTunes 12.7 right now? If so, you can see there is no tab called “app” in iTunes anymore right? That’s what I am talking about. Btw, “tabs” is the button where you see “music”, “video”, next to back/forward button in iTunes.
