Ipad apps work on macbook. Here s how it will work. Launch the downloaded iphone or ipad app as usual it will run in a new window on the mac. Moving forward apps written specifically for the mac will function on both intel and apple silicon models.
This is possibly thanks to xcode 12 and its ability to create universal 2 binaries which work on both processor architectures. Not much work was required on the side of the developer to make ipad iphone apps ready for the mac. Now with all macs that have apple s silicon in the app store you have the option to install mac specific apps or choose other ipad iphone apps.
Before you can run an iphone or ipad app on your mac or macbook you ll first need to download it from apple s app store. With the m1 chip all apple devices now shared a similar architecture. Apple has announced no such plans to bring the iphone and ipad app library to non arm models.
