You can't.

iOS and macOS are different OS's.

You must go to the Mac App Store and get the App.

Also keep in mind, that not all developers make App's for both iOS and macOS.

When I set up my iPad two programs were not copied. Can I manually copy them? dizzy Spinventure and lucky legend casino are the two applications that I want to copy to the new ipad. Dizzy Spinventure is on the App Store; but it is not the same. After three months of switching between iPads, I am that there has to be a app that will copy both programs so I do not need to switch between iPads.
