See a Reddit post and the twitter post below by Jon Prosser:

I’m not gonna say that Final Cut is coming to iPad... But XCode is present on iOS / iPad OS 14. The implications there are HUGE. Opens the door for “Pro” applications to come to iPad. I mentioned this last week on a live stream, but figured it was worth the tweet

If Xcode makes it to iPadOS 14 the iPad Pro will truly be a product for ****.

The line above doesn't mean what you think it means. For some reason, and I can assure you it's completely harmless, **** is a no-go word.

No one can comment on Apple's internal plans or what we might or might not be doing.

You may be able to use Xcode on an iPad through Sidecar, if that's your thing.

Bumping this question now that Apple has announced an M1 Chip in the 2021 iPad Pro. I cannot find any documentation that says the new iPad Pro can run MacOS apps such as Xcode but the device should easily have the power to do so. And with up to 2TB storage, the iPad Pro might be more powerful than the new iMac.

Can anyone comment on this now? If the iPad Pro can run MacOS apps in the same way the MacBook Pro can run iOS apps, the new iPad is a totally insane game changer.
