There's another way to find apps you can't easily find in search. However, the search results default to Mac apps, so after entering your search terms you'll need to click on iPhone and iPad Apps at the top of the results.Įasy enough, right? But you'll find it's often difficult to find the apps you're looking for. The first is by using the search box and entering the name of the app you want to install. There are two different ways to find iPhone and iPad apps in the Mac App Store. IPhone and iPad apps aren't included in the default search results. If you're using one of Apple's new M1 Macs and want to get more out of your new computer, here's how to install iPhone or iPad ( $290 at Amazon) apps, including a temporary workaround for apps that aren't listed in the Mac App Store (this will not break your Apple warranty and is considered safe). That means not every app will be available right now, but the library of compatible programs is sure to expand as developers work on adopting the new technology. Developers have to opt in to allow their apps to be installed on a Mac after they've optimized the experience for Apple computers with the M1 processor. Note that you don't get full-out access to any iPhone ( $499 at Apple) app in the App Store.
