Among the many advantages of the M1 chip, there is also the ability to install any iPhone or iPad application on the M1 Mac. This is possible because the two operating systems share a common architecture. The question now is, how can I install both optimized and unoptimized iOS or iPadOS applications to run them on the M1 Mac? Let's take a look!
IOS apps compatible with macOS are easily available on the Mac App Store. Here is how to download them:
Install iPhone or iPad apps from M1 Mac App Store
1. Open the "Mac App Store" and click on your profile at the bottom left of the page.
2. Click the "iPhone and iPadApps" tab under "Accounts".
3. Select the application from the list, and then click the download button.
After a suitable time, the application will be downloaded to your M1 Mac. You can access the application from the launchpad or the "Applications" folder.
Another method is to search for the application directly on the Mac App Store → switch to the "iPhone and iPad Applications" tab and download the desired application.
To download or side-load iOS apps on M1 Mac, third-party mobile device management software iMazing is required.
