im not makecode team, but i dont think so because a makecode is game is web-based and not downloadable. You’d first have to get a makecode game into an actual downloadable app, not a pseudo-application that is, in reality, a website

No you cannot upload this to the app store due to microsoft limitation but you can buy one of these physical devices kind of a game boy which allows you to play your game on a arcade style controls

We have a few samples of uploading to [itch.io](http://itch.io) here: [Getting rid of the simulator for Itch.io - #9 by jwunderl](https://forum.makecode.com/t/getting-rid-of-the-simulator-for-itch-io/16756/9), and it feels like it’d be relatively simple to create an app that was just a [https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview) with e.g. the output of the github integration (like this [https://jwunderl.github.io/pxt-fireworks/](https://jwunderl.github.io/pxt-fireworks/)). There was also this thread on computer builds, but I haven’t fully kept up with it [Play MakeCode Arcade Game In App - #7 by Vegz78](https://forum.makecode.com/t/play-makecode-arcade-game-in-app/10787/7)
@eanders I feel like I remember you playing around with this? Or was that just me combining pc compiled builds + other app store investigations in my head?

Hey @PixelDoodle, we don’t have a built-in way to publish to the various app stores. That would be really cool. But your question made me curious, so I put together a little demo of one way to package an Arcade game for iOS. It just wraps the web player in a native iOS frame (provided by the CapacitorJS framework). I only got as far running it in Xcode’s iOS simulator. A few more steps would be required to upload it to the App Store, but it sets the direction at least.

@jwunderl Yeah, I was noodling around with developing a mobile player using the C++ vm, but that’s a whole different route. I like this Capacitor solution much better.

I think it would be cool
