Sideload ANY APP including Genshin Impact! M1 Apple Silicon Mac PlayCover Tutorial

EDIT: New tutorial with SIP ENABLED for Genshin Impact 2.3.0 using PlayCover 0.9.5 on a M1 Max chip is here: https://youtu.be/TMjCMKJXe6E

Sideloading is the ability to open iPhone or iPad apps on the M1 Mac, even if the developer has not officially allowed it through the App Store. Using software like PlayCover we can not only force apps like Genshin Impact to run on the M1 Mac, but we can also rebind keyboard and mouse support as well even though those apps were never designed to use those control methods.
