Then, choose “App Store” from the drop-down menu. If you can’t find it, look for it using the search bar at the top of the bat.

To access the app, you may also utilize Apple’s built-in Spotlight search. The quickest method is to use Cmd+Space Bar on your keyboard. In the middle of your screen, the search dialog will display. Enter “App Store” and choose the top result.

You may now type the name of the iPhone or iPad app into the search box in the window’s top-left corner.

Because the Software Store defaults to just displaying Mac applications, you won’t find the app you’re searching for right away. To switch perspectives, click the “iPhone & iPad Apps” item.

If the creator of an iPhone or iPad app choose to make their software accessible on Mac, it will now appear on the results page.

• If this is your first time installing the app and seeing the “Get” button, you will need to verify yourself—either using your MacBook’s TouchID fingerprint sensor or your Apple ID password. The cloud symbol signifies that you’ve already downloaded the app on one of your devices, so you don’t need to log in.

To begin the download, click the “Get” or “Download” button (which looks like a cloud symbol).

Select the “Open” option after the iPhone or iPad app has been installed on your Mac. The software will launch in its own window and execute just like any other Mac application.

You may open and launch the iPhone or iPad app on your Mac later, after you’ve exited the App Store, by looking for it in the Launchpad or using Spotlight search, like we did above.

Unfortunately, there are no touchscreen Macs available at the time of writing. You’ll have to use your trackpad, mouse, or keyboard to engage with any applications or games you download.
