- In what was perhaps not the event filled with earth shattering announcements many were predicting, at this years WWDC Apple introduced advanced functionality to enhance workflows for both Mac and iOS, along with more unity, including running iOS apps on macOS.
- 14 hours ago Apple is going to allow users to run iOS apps on Mac thanks to its new M1 chip and macOS Big Sur. Developers will be able to publish their iPhone and iPad apps on the Mac App.
- IOS and macOS are separate operating systems and they have their own separate software libraries. The bad news is that an app for one platform will not run conventionally on the other.
- IOS 8.4 and iOS 9.0.2 are different versions of the same operating system. Those apps run on iOS. Mac apps run on OS X. A similar, but different operating system. Apple just this past week said that there are no plans to merge the two operating systems to run on all devices Apple.
Are the Pages and Numbers apps that I originally bought on iTunes for iPad for $9.99 each transferrable to or able to run on 2011 MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.5? The mac app store wants $19.99 each to download. I thought the new operating system was supposed to run the iPhone and iPad apps. My Mac shows the apps in iCloud drive but only opens them in preview. Any way to run these without paying twice for the same app, also curious what apps other people are using in place of these. I use them mostly for basic lists or to open word/excel docs. Thanks.

Apple detailed today how its new Apple Silicon Macs would be capable of running a wider range of apps than before, even in the case where an iOS developer hasn't released a Mac -compatible version of their mobile experience. The company said macOS Big Sur on its new Macs would support universal apps -- which include the native binary version built for the Apple Silicon and the one for Intel Macs -- as well as other apps that hadn't yet upgraded to universal.

That means the new Macs can, for the first time ever, run users' iPhone and iPad apps, Apple said. This change will expand the selection of apps available for Mac devices.
Apple explained how this this is all possible during its event. It said a new technology called Rosetta 2 would help M1 -- the first member of the company's Apple Silicon family -- to run apps built for Intel-based Macs. Apple even noted that some apps would run better using Rosetta 2 than they did on Intel.
Also during its event today, Apple showed off iPhone and iPad apps like HBO Max and Among Us running on its new Silicon Macs.

Among the developers it found who were not offering their apps on the new Mac App Store for Apple Silicon Macs, were Google (Gmail, Drive, Maps), Facebook (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp), Amazon (Prime Video), Snapchat, and Disney+.
But these opt-outs may be a temporary measure.
Apple additionally talked about universal apps -- meaning those built for both Apple Silicon and Intel processors -- in more detail. Among the first to launch universal apps are companies like Omni Group and Adobe. In Adobe's case, it will offer a universal version of Lightroom next month, and Photoshop early next year.
Universal apps can be downloaded both from the App Store and the web, Apple noted.
Of course, Apple has optimized all its apps for M1, as well, including every app that comes with macOS, to all the other apps it publishes like Pages, Numbers, Keynote, GarageBand, iMovie, LogicPro, and Final Cut Pro.
