About:
PlayCover is a tool for macOS that enables running unsigned iOS applications and games on Apple Silicon Macs. It achieves this by decrypting and re-signing IPA files, allowing them to bypass Apple's strict ecosystem limitations. This provides users with a native-like experience, including support for keyboard mapping and mouse input for gaming.
Key Features:
  • Sideloading of unsigned iOS/IPA files on macOS
  • Advanced key mapping for keyboard and mouse control
  • Native Apple Silicon performance support
  • Integration with Homebrew for easy installation
Use Cases:
  • Playing iOS-exclusive mobile games on Mac with keyboard controls
  • Running enterprise or unsigned iOS apps not available on the Mac App Store
  • Developers testing iOS apps on macOS without Xcode
Alternatives:
  • Apple Play – Official Apple solution but limited to App Store titles only
  • CrossOver – Runs Windows apps, not iOS apps
