Just got a new M1 and realized I cant download iOS apps on my Mac. I thought this was possible. Some forum users are saying side load but not sure if this work?

Any advise would be highly appreciated.

Search for an app on the store. If the developer offers the iPad and iPhone version you will see the tabs on the top. That doesn’t mean those apps are optimized for macOS desktop. Most will look weird and some won’t support selecting text or keyboard controls etc

Dont download apps from unofficial sources or guaranteed you will have the worst kind of spyware.

I don’t recall which YouTube tutorial that I used but there are several that will break it down. M1 + iMazing in the YT search should do it.
