It's opt-out I believe. iOS apps are by default available on ARM Macs unless the developer specifically chooses to disable support.
- strogonoff 6y agoI see, so developers had to take an action to disable their apps on macOS. Natural reaction, considering the uncertainty of how much a mobile app poorly adapted for macOS could suffer in terms of ratings.
- Daedren 6y agoIt's more so because developers are unable to ascertain how their app will look and behave on M1 without having one.
- vaxman 6y agoThere are a number of apps that display content that is licensed differently for use on a general purpose computer (where the consumer might have one or more 82" monitors connected) than on a handheld device. BTW, In the not-too-distant future it will be possible to playback broadcast DRM content in apps using the consumer's underlying license to it (that's part of their cable, 5G or dish subscription as opposed to the lowly app developer spending millions) and, at that point, we'll probably see things like Continuity/Handoff work across devices for most content.
