This change will expand the selection of apps available for Mac devices.Īpple explained how this this is all possible during its event. That means the new Macs can, for the first time ever, run users’ iPhone and iPad apps, Apple said. The company said macOS Big Sur on its new Macs would support universal apps - which include the native binary version built for the Apple Silicon and the one for Intel Macs - as well as other apps that hadn’t yet upgraded to universal.
Apple has flipped the necessary sever-side switch to block iPhone and iPad applications from being installed on Apple Silicon Macs.Apple detailed today how its new Apple Silicon Macs would be capable of running a wider range of apps than before, even in the case where an iOS developer hasn’t released a Mac-compatible version of their mobile experience. Many people were using tools such as iMazing to complete this process.ĩto5Mac has now confirmed that, starting today, this is no longer possible unless the application is available on the Mac App Store. This is the path that many developers have taken, making the necessary change in App Store Connect to remove their app from the Mac App Store.īut with that being said, until today, you could manually install iOS apps like Netflix, Instagram, and Facebook on an M1 Mac by using their respective IPA files downloaded under a valid Apple ID.
This means that it is no longer possible to use an app such as iMazing to side load unsupported applications from your iPhone or iPad to your M1 Mac.Īs a refresher, Apple Silicon Macs allow users to run iOS and iPad applications on their Mac, but developers can opt out of allowing their apps to be installed on the Mac. Now, Apple has officially flipped the server-side switch to implement this change. We don’t expect this to last long, so if there are any iPhone or iPad apps you want on your Mac, download them sooner rather than later using iMazing.Įarlier this week, 9to5Mac reported that Apple would soon start blocking users from side loading iPhone and iPad applications to their M1 Macs. Update January 19, 2021: Apple has reverted this server-side change, and it is once again possible to side-load unsupported iPhone and iPad apps on an M1 Mac.
