Does anyone know how to run iOS apps on M1 Mac with all app data?

[John Jojo]

I tried iMazing and iMobie M1 App Checker, but both of them only help with downloading ipa. I want to play Carrot Fantasy on my M1 Mac, but don't want to lose the progress.

It depends on where the data is stored. If it's stored on the device, you may need to copy the data from your iOS device to the storage location on your Mac and vice versa to keep them synced. For example, I have a game that stores data in On My iPad. I can upload the folder to iCloud Drive, and download it to my Mac's user > .config folder. That folder is hidden and can be unhidden by using Command Shift + . I tried it for a few days but decided it wasn't worth the effort.

If you'd like to be more specific about the app and its data storage location, we might be able to give you more specific help.

This question is probably an issue that Apple or app developers will have to solve as more and more people start using iOS apps on their Macs. Otherwise, it's a half-baked feature.
