When launching the programApple silicon, the new Macs powered by the latest proprietary M1 processor have been entitled to a long-awaited feature. This is compatibility with applications originally designed for iPhones or iPads. Indeed, before this change, it was necessary to use emulators not always within the reach of the general public...
But for an iOS app to be available on macOS Big Sur, its developer must allow it by validating the possibility. Except that in the first versions of macOS Big Sur, some smart users noticed thateven unauthorized iOS appsby their developers could be installed on macOS Big Sur, thanks to a technique using the .ipa installation file of the application in question. Apple subsequentlyblocked this possibility.
But more recently, it seems that iOS applications are causing problems again.
L’incident
In recent days, many Internet users have reported that they simply can no longer download an iOS application to their computer, from the Mac App Store. A major bug for those who were starting to get used to it underBig Sur. Under this name lies in fact the latest edition of the operating system running the most recent Macs, the improvements of which can be found in detail inour dedicated list.
For its part, Apple has just become aware of what seems to be affecting users in all four corners of the globe. We therefore assume that the firm is already working to implement a fix. Generally, an update is then offered in order to resolve the problem quickly.
Productivity gain
If at first glance an iOS application on Mac may seem gimmicky, it has in fact become essential for many. First of all for thedevelopers, who thanks to such a tool no longer have to multiply test devices. At more than 1,000 euros for the iPhone 12 Pro, this strategy indeed represents significant, significant savings for freelancers.
On the other hand, even among individuals, the option was able to convince. In question,Mac clients not always well optimized-or even non-existent- for platforms that are among the most popular on the planet. Facebook, for example, only has its web version on the big screen. As for its email clientWhatsApp, it is particularly limited on macOS.
