Q: How do I transfer an app from my Iphone to my Mac?

I need to transfer an app from my Iphone to my Mac. The app is not available for Mac but it is available for the Iphone. The app is RxCamLinkPro. I need to install it in my Mac so I can configure it and be able to activate the app in my Iphone.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

iOS software can’t be run on a computer. If you still want to have a copy of it on your Mac, open iTunes on the MacBook Pro and redownload it from the iTunes Store.

iOS apps don't run under OS X on your Mac. You can't transfer any iOS app to a Mac other than to sync it to the iTunes Library there.

1. In the iTunes library.
2. Not on the Mac. Check the creator’s website for instructions on setting the camera up with your Mac.

You’ll need to find a method that doesn’t involve running the application on your computer.
