Yes, you can run your iPhone app on a Mac. Xcode makes it simple to target all Apple devices uniformly, including macOS and iOS, while still allowing for customization when needed. This is particularly useful for games, as they typically use a common codebase and share most of their project settings across all destinations. You can set up a multi-device project in Xcode to target both macOS and iOS devices, ensuring that both can access the full capabilities of their respective SDKs when necessary.
