PlayCover - Run iOS apps & games on M1 Mac with mouse, keyboard and controller support.

Hi, guys! Today I’d like to showcase an app that iVoider Created recently.

PlayCover allows you to run any iOS app with mouse and keyboard mapping.

FAQ:
How about controllers (Xbox, PS)?
-
I am working on third-party controllers support.

Can I be banned?
-
Ofc it’s your own risk, but I don’t think so. Just don’t play games like CODM and PUBG without special bypass and don’t use external macros, and you’ll be fine.To be honest, I played Genshin on my main account for three months with this method and nothing happened.

What about macros?
-
Yes, you can record and replay them.

Is this app dangerous for my system?
-
No.It’s sandboxed (so I can’t get access your data).App is using Xcode command-line tool and nothing else.
Only reason the app is not notarised by Apple, because I have no free money to buy Apple Dev account right now.

Why it is not Open-Source then?
-
Currently I only started development and it’s not ready for public release.
But I have plans to make this tool Open-Source a little bit later.

Installation

Just build last commit version or download last installer from Github

First Launch

On first launch, app will prompt you to install Xcode Tools. Agree, please.

Now you can simply drag & drop any .ipa from iMazing, M1 Checker or AppDb.

Wait till PlayCover will convert app and launch it.

How to create key mapping

Press Ctrl + P to open editor mode.

Now you can use Ctrl + N to add button, Ctrl + J - joystick, Ctrl + M - mouse.

To delete a key, click on existing button, and then press Ctrl + Del.

After edit, just press Ctrl + P again to save results.

You can hold Alt during game to stop mouse camera control.
