You can connect to Remote Desktop Services and a remote PC with Windows App on macOS or iOS/iPadOS, but Microsoft doesn't currently support these connections, say Learn Microsoft.

 The Windows app preview is currently accessible for iPhone, iPad, and Mac through the TestFlight app from Apple. Access through TestFlight is not for all time as the capacity limit is set. Sometimes you will not be able to preview this app when the limit is reached. However, the company promised that they would rotate the participants, to increase the availability for a wider public.
