Hello, would love to able to use Roon ARC on my laptop when I’m traveling. Is it possible to enable it in the MacOS App Store, in addition to iPhone/iPad? Thank you

No, not now, but many of us are hoping Roon will create a Roon ARC for laptops.

I think the OP possibly meant that on an Apple Silicon Mac you can install iOS Apps and launch them as you would a normal MacOS App. It just needs a flag enabling (?) when creating the Universal Binary. I have quite a few iOS Apps usefully running on my M1 Mac mini.

That’s correct :). This is more of an engineering feature request - it’s an Apple Silicon native app so it’s just a checkbox

Came here looking for this. +1
Mods: can you merge this thread in
Roon ARC is available on iOS. With the developer’s permission , Mac users can run iOS apps on Apple Silicon Macs. Enabling MacOS support would allow users with Roon servers at home to access their music from their Macs at the office, or wherever.

And this one which has 16 votes, so maybe it should be the master thread
iOS Apps on Mac runs your unmodified iPhone and iPad apps on Apple silicon with no porting process. Your apps use the same frameworks and infrastructure that Mac Catalyst apps use to run, but without the need to recompile for the Mac platform.

It quite literally is a checkbox in Xcode / App Distribution / App Store settings which allows users to download the iOS/iPadOS application and run without any modification on an M1 or M2 M…
For Reference, I think this one below is a broader thread (all laptops, not just enabling on modern MacOS, which is much simpler for the Devs.
Roon ARC should have a desktop version so it can be used on Windows, Mac, Linux while out of home.
This connectivity is achievable with a tool such as ZeroTier, but a ‘native’ solution would be much easier for all.
I’ve read in other posts that this is not on the roadmap, can Roon provide their reasoning behind that decision?
