Can I run iOS apps on macOS?

iOS and macOS support many of the same frameworks and features, and most iOS apps run smoothly on macOS. However, you might choose to opt out of running your iOS app on macOS under these circumstances: You already created a Mac version of your app using AppKit or Mac Catalyst.

How do I open iOS apps on my Mac?

Click on your profile in the bottom left of the app. Under account, choose “‌iPhone‌ & ‌iPad‌ Apps.” Next to any app in the list, click on the download button. The iOS app will be installed like any other Mac app and can be opened up from Launchpad or the Applications folder.
