External Microphone forMacBook M1 and iPad

I would like to get Shure MOTIV MV5 microphone for MacBook M1 and iPad.

1- Is it supported for both?

2- Do I need to download a certain App?

3- How does the external Microphone get its power?

Are there any current users who could share their experiences and give me some heads up advice.

thanks,

Apple says yes:


Engineered for easy use when you're on the go, the Shure MOTIV MV5 Digital condenser microphone delivers convenient, high-quality plug and play audio capture for Mac, PC, iPhone, iPod, and iPad. 


For the iPad you use this app:

Use the ShurePlus™ MOTIV app for high-quality digital recording and editing with MOTIV microphones or as a standalone tool.


The mic comes with:

MicroB-to-USB cable

Not sure what type of USB end. Your Mac and newer iPads have USB-C connector so if the USB end on the included cable is USB-A you need a USB-A to USB-C adapter.
