Is it possible to reverse-engineer my iPhone application?

I am building an app for a client and want to send him .ipa's files for every build I create so he can play with the app.

I don't however want him to have access to the source code until he pays me.

Can he get the source code somehow from the ipa file?

The source-code is compiled into an executable. There is no way to reverse engineer that back to your source-code. There is nothing to worry about.

i just built an ad-hoc .ipa and it definitely included source code.

It may be possible. When an .ipa is given to Apple for approval, they may send it back with details regarding a bug, or another concern, with the line number of the file and code sample from that location exposing the bug.
