What are iPad Apps Like ? What about the App Store ?

[retrospek]

I would think one of the biggest things with the new machines is you can run iPad apps (and iPhone) ?

But I haven't seen much about this ? How are people finding running these apps ? And how do you download them ? do they just appear in the Mac App Store ?

You cannot browse (as far as I have seen any iOS apps). However, when you search for an app, there is a small tab to show iOS apps. Not all apps are available. HBO Max is available, but Hulu or Netflix are not

One big drawback is that any of the apps I have tried run in a fixed window (which is rather small). They cannot be maximized. There is a Full Screen menu item, but it's greyed out. So HBO for example, runs in a small window and you can't maximize a movie. I hope this will be fixed.

Quick question...

I can access work outlook and office apps on iphone/ipad - with the support of Microsoft Authenticator.

Not on macOS though, as per safety restrictions - only through Citrix.

is it possible on M1, to download iOS outlook and Authenticator and run as it would be on ipad?
