RELATED: Why the Mac App Store Doesn’t Have the Applications You Want Updates are all handled by the store, which is convenient, and any application you purchase on one Mac will work on another. Your application will download and show up in your “Applications” folder. Open the store, search for the app you want, and click “Get” then “Download.”

Now, Apple has officially flipped the server-side switch to implement this change. We don’t expect this to last long, so if there are any iPhone or iPad apps you want on your Mac, download them sooner rather than later using iMazing.Įarlier this week, 9to5Mac reported that Apple would soon start blocking users from side loading iPhone and iPad applications to their M1 Macs. Update January 19, 2021: Apple has reverted this server-side change, and it is once again possible to side-load unsupported iPhone and iPad apps on an M1 Mac.
