I think Pokemon games have jailbreak detection and playcoer can be detected as a jailbroken device, try to enable jailbreak bypass

I disable SIP and enable Jailbreak Bypass but it still doesn't work. 🥹

MBA M2, SIP disabled, anti-jb detection enabled, can confirm it crashes on start

Is there no way to play Pokemon TCG on the Mac? Is miroring not available in Europe...

@Captainhum iPhone mirroring works from Perú on MacOS 15.3 (Sequoia), I wouldn't say that's running Pocket on a mac, because it's more like "cloud gaming" on your mac, while your iphone is the server.

It's a bit slower than it would be to run Pocket natively imo, because there is a bit of delay. But I'm sure it's good enough for most people trying to play pocket on their macs.

@Catta1997 Please take a look at this one if you have time, hopefully it's an easy fix

So I found a non-Playcover solution that works great. Using Bluestacks Air, which is an android emulator made for apple silicon, using Android studio's emulator didn't work for me, but Bluestacks is working:
