With the release of Apple's new M1 chipset Macs, it's possible to run iOS apps on your computer. There are a few ways to do this.
The simplest is to run apps that have been officially designated for use on macOS by their authors. Where this is the case, they'll be available in the App Store on macOS as usual. However, it is possible to download and run any iOS app on your M1-powered Mac.
To do so, you'll need the free Apple Configurator 2 app installed.

Apple's iOS 14 operating system will bring support to AliPay, opening up mobile payments to potentially more than a billion customers. Apple Configurator makes it easy for anyone to mass configure and deploy iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in a school, business, or institution. Three simple workflows let you prepare new iOS devices for immediate distribution, supervise devices that need to maintain a standard configuration, and assign devices to users. As far as I know, the IPSWs are stored under /Library/Application Support/com.apple.configurator/IPSWs. The IPSWs, stored per device's model and iOS version, are automatically downloaded here when you perform a restore using the Apple Configurator. So, copying, the newest IPSW into this directory should do the trick.
Connect your iOS device to your M1 Mac.
Run Apple Configurator 2, select your phone and click
Add→Appsin the menu bar.If Apple Configurator isn't signed into your Apple ID, you'll need to click 'Sign in' and provide your credentials.
Search for the app you want to download, before hitting 'Add'. This has to be an app that is already installed your iPhone.
If you want to choose an app that isn't currently on your phone, visit the App Store on your iOS device and hit 'Install' on the app in question before restarting this process.
A progress dialog will show whilst the app is being downloaded. When it's done, a warning will pop up, saying that the app is already installed on the phone. Leave the warning message on the screen.
Switch to Finder and hit
⌘ Cmd+⇧ Shift+Gto open the 'Go to folder' dialog, and paste this, before hitting⏎ Enter:~/Library/Group Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Assets/TemporaryItems/MobileAppsOpen the folders in the new window until you get to the IPA file. Double-click it to install it on your Mac, and it'll appear in your
Applicationsfolder.The iOS app won't run until you approve it to run on your system. Open Terminal on your Mac, and paste this command in, but don't hit the enter key:
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantinePress the spacebar to add a space after that text, and then drag your app from the
Applicationsfolder onto the Terminal window. That'll add the app's path to the end of the line you pasted in.Hit the
⏎ Enterkey and type your password before hitting⏎ Enteragain.
That's it — you'll now be able to run your app from Applications like any other app.

iPhone Configuration Utility (iPCU) is a tool for managing iPads, iPhones and iPod touches in corporate environments. There are versions for Mac OS X and Windows available, though Apple now points Mac users to their Apple Configurator. The iPhone Configuration Utility offers the following features:
- Creating, editing and installing configuration profiles
- Installing provisioning profiles
- Installing unpacked .app bundles (without IPA container)
- Viewing syslog of the connected device
Configuration Profiles
- Main article: Configuration Profile
Apple Configurator 1.7.2 Dmg Pc
Configuration profile is a set of restrictions and/or settings that allow the device to work with corporate infrastructure and conform to the established IT policy. It can include email and Exchange accounts, Wi-Fi settings, digital certificates, passcode lock and password complexity requirements, etc.
For normal folks a feature of interest might be the ability to set custom APN (if their carrier bundle doesn't allow it to be changed in Settings) and configure proxy for cellular data. This may be necessary to get internet access on certain carriers without data plan.
Historically, configuration profiles were used by sites such as help.benm.at to enable tethering on carriers which did not support it officially.
Certificate Installation
On first launch iPCU creates a self-signed certificate in the Mac OS X keychain or Windows certificate store (run certmgr.msc and navigate to 'ipcu' to view it). This certificate is then silently installed onto any iDevice that is connected to iPCU, and cannot be removed.Configuration profiles that are subsequently installed are signed with this certificate, which allows iDevices to validate profile authenticity.
