One of the most enticing things to me about Apple Silicon Mac's was actually the ability to run iPad & iPhone apps. Whether it was for full use, or just for push notifications (motion alerts from my video doorbell, etc).

My biggest disappointment with the experience of running iPad apps on Mac is that for some reason, Apple chose NOT to enable Magic Keyboard-esque functionality. Using my favorite Reddit app Apollo on an iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard and a mouse is great, the cursor snaps to the UI elements, gestures work, etc.

On my new M1 Mac, my mouse scroll wheel does not work at all, gestures do not work, and the cursor doesn't change or morph. I felt like this was a no brainer that Apple would add.

Are you sure it’s not app incompatibility rather than something Apple has missed? Perhaps contact the dev and see if there can be anything done their side.
