<p>This may or may not mean anything, but one of our readers sent in a tip that you get an interesting error message when trying to launch an iOS app in Mac OS X Lion:</p>

<p>“You can’t open this application (App name) because it is not supported on this type of Mac”</p>

<p>Does this suggest “this type of Mac” isn’t supported but another might be? Who knows, I found this fascinating in lieu of <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/08/23/imac-touch-runs-mac-ios/">iMac Touch</a> and similar iOS & Mac OS X hybrid patents, but don’t read too much into it. </p>

<p>I tried this myself in Mac OS X 10.6 and got the same message, as you can see in the screenshot above. You can do this too by <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/04/07/extract-and-explore-an-ios-app-in-mac-os-x/">accessing iOS apps from Mac OS X</a>, after you extract the .zip file just open Payload and launch the .app file to receive the message.</p>
