Run IOS apps with intel chip

[ShreyasAyyengar]

Hello everyone.

From what I've heard (& searched) you can only run IOS apps on a mac with the silicon M1 chip. I was wondering if there is ANY way you can run IOS apps without the M1 chip. I personally own an i9 MacBook Pro and if there is any way, even through a third-party app, to run IOS apps on a mac without an M1 chip?

Please let me know

Nope. There are programs like Bluestacks to run Android on x86 computers, but you're not able to run iOS apps on an Intel Mac. iOS is locked up too tight for any practical workarounds to exist. The closest thing you'll get is the XCode iOS Simulator if you're developing an app - though performance and functionality takes a bit hit in that situation, as well, devs are extremely unlikely to share their XCode project with you!
