[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1901886, member: 38864"] To my understanding, from the onset of the M1 platform, iOS apps were allowed to be installed by default and developers could optionally verify that the apps were good to go for iDevices and M1 Macs, or say "no" and the apps would not be available for Mac. The developer has to explicitly DISALLOW the use, otherwise they are available and it's "user beware" unless the developer has actively verified that it's good to go. I've downloaded a handful of iOS apps to my M1 Mac and a couple work just fine, a couple don't at all. I mean, those that don't work will in fact load, but are unusable due to a complete lack of keyboard/trackpad support. In those cases, the developer simply hasn't bothered to disallow their use on Mac. So when Apple says the app hasn't been verified, they just mean it may or may not work well or even at all. It's not something that will be a risk of causing harm to the system. [/QUOTE]
