Alfred Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 As I understand it, Big Sur on an M1 Mac can run any iPhone or iPad app natively.

Affinity iPad apps are not going to be installable on Big Sur, no. we already have Affinity Native apps on M1, so although some iPad apps may be made available on M1 Big sur, Serif Affinity iPad applications will not Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Quote The latest macOS upgrade will be able to run iPhone and iPad apps natively, Apple has revealed, as long as the Mac is also running the Apple silicon M1 chip. and Quote These iOS and iPadOS apps will work even if the developers haven't specifically adapted them to run on desktop and laptop computers.

No. You are simply not paying attention. it is technically possible to run iOS apps on M1 computers, but developers have the option to disable it in the store. Development for things like memory management on iPad apps is far different to dealing with macs who have a lot more RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t originally read the entire article, so I missed the bit about developers opting out (or rather, choosing not to opt in).
