Hello,  @yaelle_ortiz   and Welcome to the Canvas Community! The Canvas Student app works on the iOS platform (iPhone or iPad). It cannot be used on the MacOS. If you'd like to access Canvas through your Macbook Air, you can easily do so through a browser; Chrome is best, I find. What are the basic computer specifications for Canvas?‌ , Which browsers does Canvas support?, and Mobile Guides - Canvas Student provide additional guidance.

Is this new? I was able to download canvas on my last macbook without issue and it still works fine. I just got a new macbook (the other one was on loan from a friend) and now suddenly can't download it. The reason I originally downloaded the app on my last computer was because the browser version wouldn't allow me to upload images into my weekly discussion posts - it was only when I downloaded the app that I was able to use Canvas without issue.

It looks like you might have found a viable solution. I was going suggest Bluestacks android emulator (http://www,bluestacks.com).
