Summary
APN's official App Store listing currently exposes only a Mac build, but its product description repeatedly tells readers that the app works on iOS as well as macOS.
The listing's structured metadata says:
availableOnDevice: MacoperatingSystem: macOS 14.0 or later
The APN homepage also labels the App Store download as (macOS only). Despite that, the App Store description contains:
- “How the VPN works on iOS and macOS”
- “The first time you launch APN, iOS shows the standard VPN configuration prompt.”
This sends iPhone/iPad users toward an app that the same listing does not make available for those devices.
Steps to reproduce
- Open APN's homepage: https://apn.tech/
- In the download section, observe that the App Store link is labeled
(macOS only).
- Open that official listing: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/apn-tech/id6759260415
- Observe that the page resolves to the Mac listing (
?mt=12) and identifies the supported device/OS as Mac and macOS 14.0 or later.
- Read the description.
- Observe the text “How the VPN works on iOS and macOS” and the later instruction about the iOS VPN configuration prompt.
Actual result
A Mac-only store listing describes iOS behavior and implies that the same APN app is available on iPhone/iPad.
Expected result
The store description should match the currently published platforms:
- If only the Mac build is available, replace iOS-specific wording with macOS wording and describe the macOS VPN permission flow.
- If an iOS build is intended to be public, publish/link that iPhone/iPad listing and keep the cross-platform description accurate.
Impact
iPhone and iPad users can reasonably expect an installable iOS client from the description, then find that the official listing only supports Mac. The iOS-specific setup instructions are also incorrect for the advertised Mac-only download path.
Duplicate check
I searched the tracker for App Store description, How the VPN works on iOS and macOS, availableOnDevice, and related iOS/macOS wording.
Nearby reports cover different mismatches:
I did not find a report about the current official App Store product description contradicting its Mac-only availability.
