Apple iPhone to computer mirroring TOS question

Apple recently released an update that allows you to “open” your phone on your Mac. Effectively you can do everything you could on your phone, but instead of controlling it from your iPhone, your Mac is controlling it. I was wondering how this interactions with MCOC terms of service. I’m not planning on playing the game by mirroring it on my computer (it seems like it would be way harder that way), but I’m curious if opening the game through apple’s iphone mirroring feature violates TOS. And I would love official kabam confirmation either way on this because it seems to me like new and uncharted territory. You’re still playing from your phone through an official Apple feature, but it does seem like a gray area to me.

    In general, if it is a native feature of the device, it is generally allowed.

    Old-old touchscreen ChromeBooks had Play Store where you could download and play MCOC (so long as nothing else was modified, etc.)

    And Screen Mirror has always been allowed.

    More recently someone mentioned (like you) that it now extends beyond just Mirror to actually be Controller to the phone via native OS method.
    And so long as using native OS provided method for controlling, may not be a problem.

    (unlike downloading game from unauthorized sites, using 3rd party software to modify controlling aspects, etc)
