MacOS Mode for iPad Pro

Okay, I can’t get a straight answer here… google says one thing, Apple Support says another. I asked the Apple Tech at the Apple Store, and he said it’s possible… but I can’t find anything that supports this…

Is it possible to install apps/programs for Mac M1 chips on the iPad Pro in MacOS mode?

I'm looking to install Visual Studio 2022, and Godot IDE, maybe VS Code, also Logic Pro X (from Mac Store, not the lite app) I know the iPad Pro isn’t a “full laptop replacement” … but aside from the hardware power and screen size, if these installs aren’t supported, then what’s the point of the Pro over a regular iPad with a keyboard case?

thanks in advance!

Not sure who you are talking to, but you certainly can’t run Mac apps on iPad as of the iPad Pro with M2 processor. It would certainly be popular if Apple chose to support this in the future, but there isn’t even a public roadmap for this as it stands now.

The benefit is mainly so Apple doesn’t need to make another variant of the A-series processor that is between an iPhone and Mac, but there are a handful of apps that can use the extra performance and memory.
