Can I use Unreal Engine on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?
Yes — by streaming Unreal Engine 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 Unreal Engine installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.
Unreal Engine runs on your Mac and retains that platform’s feature and hardware support. Remote access does not enable Windows-only tools or replace local performance testing. Unreal Engine product information.
