About:
PlayCover is a tool that enables macOS users to run iOS apps and games by sideloading them. It leverages Apple's native frameworks to provide native performance and keyboard/mouse input mapping for games. This allows playing mobile titles on Apple Silicon Macs with superior controls and performance compared to mobile devices.
Key Features:
  • Native ARM64 performance for iOS apps on Apple Silicon
  • Custom keyboard and mouse mapping for gaming
  • Support for IPA files and Apple Store integration
  • Sandbox management and entitlement configuration
Use Cases:
  • Playing iOS games on Mac with keyboard and mouse
  • Running iOS-only productivity apps on macOS
  • Testing iOS applications on Apple Silicon Macs
Alternatives:
  • Apple Configurator – Official Apple tool for app installation but lacks gaming features
  • iOS App Store – Native solution but limited to Mac-compatible apps only
