Store and Apple ID Region

This app isn’t available on the mainland China storefront. The App Store’s catalog depends on the country or region associated with your Apple ID, not the language of the webpage you’re viewing. Use the button above to open the US product page and check the app details. The storefront in the link won’t change your account region, and it doesn’t guarantee that your account can complete a purchase. If you see an availability message, check your current storefront before deciding what to do next.

To check your region, go to Settings → Apple ID → Media & Purchases → View Account → Country/Region. Some systems may ask you to verify your identity first, and menu labels may vary slightly by system language. Check the country or region on your account page, and note which account is signed in to Media & Purchases; it may differ from the account used for other device features. You don’t need to sign out just to view this information.

If you need to change your region, start from Country/Region and follow the system’s steps for changing your country or region. Review the conditions shown on screen. Your account balance, pending items, active subscriptions, Family Sharing status, and payment method may affect whether you can make the change. Address any issues the system identifies, then submit accurate account information. These steps explain where to go; they don’t guarantee that every account can change regions, and changing regions isn’t a required step before every purchase.

If you’ve already purchased Shadowrocket from another available storefront, check the purchase history for the original account first. Switching regions repeatedly isn’t a substitute for checking your purchase history. In particular, if you see a price, confirm that the current store account is the one used for the original purchase. Follow the App Store’s current information for purchase terms, storefront availability, and account notices.

IDENTITY / THREE CHECKS

Developer, Official Icon, and App ID

Shadowrocket

Shadow Launch Technology Limited

ID 932747118

A name in search results can help you find a candidate, but it doesn’t verify the app by itself. Open the full product page and check the developer or seller: it should be Shadow Launch Technology Limited. Then match the official icon, a blue-and-purple outlined rocket on a white background, and check for id932747118 in the product page URL. All three details should point to the same app. Don’t rely on the name Shadowrocket alone to confirm a purchase.

Apps with the same or similar names may appear in search results. Open the full product page instead of relying on the thumbnail in the results list. If the developer details or app ID don’t match, return to the product link on this page and check again. Compare the icon with the official one shown here; similar colors aren’t proof of identity.

The two screenshots on the right are official English-language screenshots submitted by the developer to the App Store. Home shows the connection status, Global Routing, Connectivity Test, and SERVER section; Add Server shows the server detail fields. They help you recognize key sections after installation and aren’t values you need to copy into your configuration. The status shown in a screenshot doesn’t mean your device is connected, and purchasing the app doesn’t provide the server details shown.

The layout may change with app updates and device size. Verify the app using the three product details rather than the layout. If the app opens, start by locating Home and Add Server, then read the setup and import instructions below. Don’t enter an address, password, or protocol setting that isn’t part of your own server details just to match the screenshots.

IPHONE / FIRST OPEN

Get Shadowrocket on iPhone and Open It for the First Time

Confirm the Purchase, Then Check Installation

Open the App Store product link on this page on your iPhone. Check the developer and app ID, then see whether the store shows a price, a redownload option, or an Open button. If this is your first purchase, review the amount and account on the final confirmation screen, then complete payment using the system prompt. If you’ve bought the app before, check Purchased first; buying again shouldn’t be the first step in troubleshooting a download.

Refer to the App Store listing for system requirements. Before buying, expand the compatibility section and confirm that your device meets the requirements. If the download is pending, check available storage, network status, and the App Store installation queue. If you see a payment or account notice, address the issue shown by the store first. If installation isn’t complete, there’s no need to troubleshoot connection settings in Home yet.

Handle VPN Configuration Permission Separately from Connection Setup

Before opening the app for the first time, have your own subscription or server details ready. To add a server manually, go to Add Server and check Type, Host, Port, and authentication fields against your existing details. For subscription import options and formats, see the quick-start guide. After importing, select the server you want to use in Home and check Global Routing. Config uses the current configuration file to determine routing; Proxy and Direct are different global routing modes.

When you connect for the first time, the system may ask whether to allow adding a VPN configuration. This is device-level network configuration permission; review the prompt and authenticate on your device. Allowing the configuration doesn’t mean the server details are correct or that the connection is working. Return to Home to check the status, then run Connectivity Test. If it fails, check your existing service details and the selected server.

IPAD / SAME PURCHASE

Using Shadowrocket on iPad and Other Devices

iPhone and iPad with the Same Apple ID

Shadowrocket is available for both iPhone and iPad. If you bought it on your iPhone with an Apple ID, open the App Store on a compatible iPad, go to Purchased in your account, find Shadowrocket, and download it again. Refer to the App Store listing for system requirements and purchase eligibility. For purchase restoration, confirming that you’re using the same account is more useful than searching for the app again.

The wider iPad screen may show lists and editing screens differently from an iPhone, but use the English interface labels Home, Config, Settings, and Add Server to identify features. Don’t rely on the pixel position of a button in a screenshot; check the interface labels and field names instead. After rotating the screen, confirm which item you’re editing before saving.

Purchase eligibility and in-app configuration are separate. A working connection on your iPhone doesn’t mean a newly installed iPad has the same servers and rules. When you first open the app, check the server list, selected server, and configuration files. If you need to transfer your setup, use your own saved subscription or configuration and check whether it contains personal authentication details. Grant network configuration permission separately on the iPad as well.

PURCHASE RECORD / CONFIGURATION

New or Reset Device: Restore the Purchase, Then Restore Your Configuration

Your purchase history confirms your eligibility to get the app; your subscription and configuration determine what connection it uses. Check these in order to avoid mistaking a missing configuration for a need to buy the app again.

Restore from App Store Purchases

On your new device, open App Store → Account → Purchased and look for Shadowrocket. Depending on the system, the relevant section may appear as “Apps” or “My Apps.” Make sure you’re signed in with the Apple ID used for the original purchase, then download the app from your purchase history. You usually won’t need to pay again. Follow the same steps after reinstalling on the same device; you don’t need to start another purchase from search results.

If the page shows a price, pause before paying. Check the account signed in to Media & Purchases and compare it with your purchase history. Also check whether the app is hidden from your purchases and whether your current region affects what appears in the store. A purchase doesn’t automatically transfer to a different account when you change devices, and restoring other device data doesn’t replace checking the App Store account.

Family Sharing availability depends on your family settings and purchase terms; refer to the App Store listing. Don’t confuse Family Sharing with restoring a purchase using the original account. If the store says you can’t redownload the app, note the exact message and check your account and store status before trying to pay again.

Reimport Your Connection Details

After installation, check that the SERVER section in Home and the configuration files in Config are present. If the list is empty, import your own subscription or re-enter the server details from your existing records. Reinstalling the app doesn’t guarantee that every setting from your previous device was transferred. Check the subscription contents, selected default, routing rules, and DNS settings separately.

If your old device is still available, organize the configuration and authentication details you want to keep before reinstalling. An exported configuration may contain server addresses, passwords, subscription credentials, or personal rules. Store it somewhere you control; don’t post it publicly or share screenshots containing credentials when asking for help. If your subscription address or server authentication details have changed, use the current information from your service provider.

After restoring your setup, run a basic check: select an existing server, confirm that Global Routing matches your current configuration, grant system permission, then check the connection status and run Connectivity Test. Once the basic connection works, check automatic triggers such as On Demand. For step-by-step instructions, read the first connection guide; for rule issues, see the configuration reference.

PRICE / ONE-TIME PURCHASE

Price and One-Time Purchase

The App Store Processes the Purchase

The US storefront reference price is a $2.99 one-time purchase; check the App Store listing for the actual amount. Other storefronts show prices in local currencies. Before paying, check your storefront, currency, and final confirmation amount. The USD price here describes the purchase model and isn’t a promise of the final price in every region.

A one-time purchase means you don’t pay a monthly fee to use the app. If you’ve already bought it, check your purchase history before downloading it again. App updates are delivered through the App Store. You can manage automatic updates in your device’s store settings; check the product page for update details rather than using this page to infer the current version.

For payment problems, billing questions, or refund requests, follow the current prompts in your App Store account and purchase history. Keep your own records, such as the purchase date and order status, but don’t post full payment details publicly. Whether the app connects also depends on the information you import and your network status; a completed payment alone doesn’t confirm a working connection.

The app purchase ≠ a service subscription

Buying Shadowrocket gives you the right to use the app; it doesn’t include a server or subscription ready to use. To connect, you need your own subscription or server details and must import them according to their protocol and authentication requirements. Confirm the purchase and the connection service’s term, availability, and cost separately.

This is the official Shadowrocket website and manual. It doesn’t provide, sell, or recommend servers or subscriptions. This manual explains how to identify the App Store listing, configure existing details, and troubleshoot the app. If your existing subscription expires or your server details change, check your service information rather than buying the app again.

Before buying, identify what connection details you already have: a subscription URL, a QR code, or complete server settings. A name, screenshot, or incomplete address usually isn’t enough to configure a connection. Once you have the details, follow the guide for the appropriate import method so you can distinguish setup issues from purchase issues.

PURCHASE / QUICK ANSWERS

Shadowrocket Download and Purchase FAQs

Why can’t I find Shadowrocket on the App Store?

This app isn’t available on the mainland China storefront. The country or region associated with your Apple ID determines which store content you can access. Check your current region under Settings → Apple ID → Media & Purchases → View Account → Country/Region. Opening the product page won’t change your account region; availability is determined by what the App Store displays.

The product page opens, but I can’t download the app. What should I check first?

Note the exact message from the App Store, then check the account used for Media & Purchases, your current region, payment status, available device storage, and the compatibility section. Refer to the App Store listing for system requirements. If the app is already in the installation queue, check its status rather than confirming the purchase again.

Will I have to pay again after changing or resetting my device?

Using the Apple ID that made the original purchase, find Shadowrocket in App Store → Account → Purchased and download it again. A second payment usually isn’t required. If a price appears, check your purchase history and account before buying again. After restoring the app, you’ll still need to import your own subscription or server details.

Can I install Shadowrocket on my iPad if I bought it on my iPhone?

Yes. After purchasing with the same Apple ID, you can redownload Shadowrocket from the App Store’s Purchased section on a compatible iPad. The purchase works across iPhone and iPad; check the App Store listing for system requirements and purchase eligibility. Confirm your server details and configuration files separately on the iPad.

Can I get Shadowrocket on Mac, Apple TV, or Apple Vision?

The compatibility section of the same App Store listing includes Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision. Check the listing on your target device for system requirements and whether the purchase applies across devices. The same product page is the place to get the app.

Where should I start if the app opens in English?

Start by identifying Home, Add Server, Config, and Settings. Use Home to select a server and connect, Add Server to enter existing server details, and Config to manage configuration files. Use the official screenshots on this page to find each section, then follow the quick-start guide to import your details. The English interface alone doesn’t verify that an app is genuine.
