To run an app on a Mac that is designed for iPhone, you can leverage the capabilities of Xcode and Apple's frameworks to ensure compatibility across platforms. The session "Port advanced games to Apple platforms" discusses how to configure your Xcode project to target both macOS and iOS, allowing you to build and run your app on both platforms. This setup ensures that both macOS and iOS can access the full capabilities of their respective SDKs when necessary. Xcode makes it easy to differentiate elements like libraries and frameworks depending on the target platform.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the session Port advanced games to Apple platforms (00:06:05), which covers how to set up a multi-device project and ensure compatibility across Apple devices.
