How To Run IOS Apps On Mac Or Windows PC

The second-largest app store is the Apple’s App Store, with 1.5 million apps. You can find music, lifestyle, travel, news, social networking, productivity, photo & video apps, just to name a few. There are many interesting games as well. The choice is huge and I am sure that you have a few apps that are your favorite ones. While running these apps on the iPhone or iPad is fun, you must be wondering is it possible to run iOS apps on Mac or Windows PC.

The option you have is to download a simulator, but you should be aware the experience won’t be perfect. The reason for that is quite simple. Devices such as iPad and the iPhone have a touchscreen, and when running the app designed for such devices on your computer, you will use the mouse and keyboard. The experience will be totally different, and it won’t be nearly as great as when using iPad or iPhone. While you can use a simulator to run iOS apps on Mac or Windows, you won’t be able to find all the apps that are available in the official App Store.
