How to get Android Studio on your iPhone or iPad
- Open Android Studio on your Mac and install the free Apperture Mac host.
- Get Apperture on your iPhone or iPad, then pair with your Mac using its QR code.
- Connect to your Mac and choose the Android Studio window. Use landscape orientation for more room.
Keep your Mac awake and on a network your iPhone or iPad can reach. Start on the same local network; for access away from home, see the Tailscale setup guide.
Can I use Android Studio on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?
Yes — by streaming Android Studio from your Mac with Apperture. The desktop app runs on your Mac; your iPhone or iPad displays its window and sends remote input back. You need a reachable, awake Mac with Android Studio installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.
Android Studio runs on the Mac; Apperture is its remote viewer. This does not turn your iPhone or iPad into an Android emulator or move the build toolchain to iOS. Android Studio product information.
