Apple users have had FOMO for years about not being able to download retro game emulators that are widely available on Android.

This means Apple's policy change was likely trying to get ahead of its legal issues. Recently, Apple also allowed third-party video game streaming apps like Xbox and Nvidia, a welcome change for gamers frustrated by clunky workarounds due to its stringent policies.
Emu 64 XL is designed for iPads but also runs on iPhones and Macs with iOS 11 and macOS 11 or higher.
