Due to policy reasons, the China App Store has removed almost all VPN-related apps, so you will need a foreign Apple ID to download these apps.

✅PandaFan highly recommends that you register an overseas ID yourself and link it to an overseas credit card.

🤔Unable to register a foreign ID? Have an ID but can't purchase apps? Don't worry! Follow the steps below:

This is the simplest and most universal method we have summarized. If you have other ideas, you are free to try them, but we cannot provide further customer support for Apple IDs.

1️⃣Open your phone and go to https://www.bing.com/ , use Bing to search for "buy Shadowrocket account" (see screenshot below). We recommend not using Baidu for this search. There are many purchasing websites. Choose one to buy from. Prices generally range from 1.99 to 49 RMB, and these websites accept Alipay/WeChat payments.

【❗️Note❗️You need to purchase an ID that already has Shadowrocket❗️If you only buy an ID without the app, you will still need to figure out how to buy the app yourself, which adds unnecessary hassle. Such products are generally referred to as "pre-purchased Shadowrocket," "Shadowrocket shared account," or "Shadowrocket ready-to-use account."】

2️⃣【On iPhone/iPad】The seller will usually provide you with an ID, which includes an email and password. Follow the seller's instructions to log into the App Store on your iPhone/iPad with the purchased ID, and then you can download Shadowrocket for free from the App Store.

3️⃣【On iPhone/iPad】After downloading Shadowrocket, open the PandaFan website https://user_domain (make sure to include the full HTTPS) on your iPhone/iPad, log in, and click the 【Download】 button in the top right corner to see the tutorial. Follow the tutorial to configure Shadowrocket, and then you can use it normally.

How to switch regions after obtaining a foreign Apple ID with Shadowrocket downloaded?

Register / purchase a foreign Apple ID (method as above)
Open the App Store, click the black heart-shaped icon in the top right corner
Go to your current Apple ID page, click 【Sign Out】
On the new page, enter your foreign Apple ID and password, click 【Sign In】, then click 【Done】 in the top right corner
A dialog may pop up saying this new ID can only be used in the xx country's App Store, confirm to switch? Choose confirm / switch.
After successful login, the App Store language will change to the corresponding country's language.
Go to our website, click the download link, or search for Shadowrocket yourself to download the app.

Friendly reminder:

❤️After downloading Shadowrocket, you can use the purchased ID to download apps like YouTube, X, Facebook, etc.

❤️We strongly recommend that you set up automatic app updates to avoid needing to log in again to update in the future. Setup method: In the App Store, from the menu bar at the top of the screen, select "App Store">"Settings" or "App Store">"Preferences." Choose "Automatic Updates."

🔅PandaFan is not affiliated with sellers of such IDs. If you encounter any issues with the purchase, please contact the seller. For security reasons, we recommend that you register yourself, link to PayPal, and purchase gift cards, or borrow a friend's foreign ID.

🔅Changing the Apple ID in the App Store will not cause you to lose any information stored on your phone or iCloud. After downloading, you can switch back to the China App Store using the method above.
