No. iOS devices run the iOS operating system. iOS devices are iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches. Macs, including the MacBook Air run the macOS operating system. 2 different operating systems. And apps for one don't work on the other.

Where did you find this App exactly?

Do the developers have a Mac version?

No, they don’t. Check if that application is available in the Mac App Store or on the developer’s website.

AFAIK the MacBook Air is a MacOS device. iPhone and iPad are iOS devices.

Yup, that's what Phil0124 explained a month ago when this thread was last active.
