Title: iOS apps that need to be on the Mac Post by: HCK on April 13, 2018, 04:05:13 pm iOS apps that need to be on the Mac
<article> <section class="page"> <p>Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who has a great track record of reporting Apple scoops, wrote a few months ago that <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-20/apple-is-said-to-have-plan-to-combine-iphone-ipad-and-mac-apps" rel="nofollow">Apple was working on a new approach to app development[/url] that would let developers “design a single application that works with a touchscreen or mouse and trackpad depending on whether it’s running on the iPhone and iPad operating system or on Mac hardware.”</p><p>Accepting that Apple could change direction at any time and that this project—code-named Marzipan—might not even be announced this year, it’s an intriguing possibility. Obviously iOS has a much more thriving app store than the one on the Mac, so if Apple could make it easier for iOS developers to deploy their apps on the Mac, it might help the platform thrive. Merging the approach to developing apps on Apple’s two platforms also may make sense in light of the report that Apple may be replacing Intel processors with Apple-designed ARM processors (https://www.macworld.com/article/3268029/macs/why-the-next-mac-processor-transition-wont-be-like-the-last-two.html) in future Macs.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3268413/software/ios-apps-that-need-to-be-on-the-mac.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: iOS apps that need to be on the Mac (https://www.macworld.com/article/3268413/software/ios-apps-that-need-to-be-on-the-mac.html#tk.rss_all) |
