Apple has approved the UTM SE emulator for iOS, iPadOS, and VisionOS, which will allow you to run classic software and PC games on the iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro. The decision comes weeks after it was initially denied approval due to several flaws in UTM SE, according to The Verge.
When Apple declined to approve the app in June, the developer said it would not continue testing the app because it provided a “substandard user experience.” But today, UTM thanked the team at AltStore, an alternative app store for the iOS mobile operating system, for their help and acknowledged the contribution of another developer, ” QEMU TCTI implementation played a key role in creating this non-JIT version “.
Like other emulators, UTM SE provides minimal capabilities right out of the box. The app doesn’t come with an operating system, but it does include pre-built Linux virtual machines, as well as a link to the UTM site, where you can find all the necessary guidance on emulating Windows from XP to the latest version 11. One of the screenshots from the UTM SE App Store page also mentions Mac OS 9.2.1 and DOS.
According to the App Store description, UTM SE is a PC emulator that allows you to run classic Windows software and games. The program supports both VGA mode for graphics and terminal mode for text input of commands. UTM SE allows you to run pre-assembled machines or create your own configurations from scratch by emulating x86, PPC and RISC-V architectures. The application is based on QEMU, a powerful and widely used open source emulator for hardware emulation of various platforms. It is reported that the emulator will be available only for European Union countries for now.
