The previous week started with macOS 10.15 Catalina and Mac Catalyst release.

We are still waiting for Asphalt 9 and DC Universe to be ported from iPadOS, although both of them (alongside others) were announced in Apple's press release on Mac Catalyst. What we got is a pretty decent versions of Twitter and Jira Cloud for macOS 10.15 Catalina. You can check this article from 9to5Mac about the first bunch of apps released. You may notice that the first iteration of Catalyst apps looks more like ports from iPadOS versions rather than truly native macOS apps. Mac Catalyst still has from some limitations, implementation issues lacks of documentation. But we hope that Apple will consider developers’ feedback in their future updates.
