Hey guys, I am a little confused. I went on Shadowrocket official telegram channel and it said the app is only made for ios/ipados. However, I noticed there is also a Shadowrocket app in Google play store. From what I know, iphone Shadowrocket costs money to buy, but google play version is free and comes with a bunch of free nodes already. What gives? Does anyone know if the android version of Shadowrocket is fake and a honeypot of malwares?
Don’t use it. Get the original version from the shadowsocks website. It’s FOSS and shouldn’t contain any free or paid nodes.

Ok, thanks for the heads up! It just felt odd to me there is also an Android version when they said they only have it for Apple devices.
Shadowrocket is the one that’s available for iOS and is widely trusted. It’s also only available for iOS. It’s a proprietary app that includes the shadowsocks protocol, among a suite of other protocols. There are also other apps but Shadowrocket is widely trusted (or at least widely used).
Shadowsocks is a protocol (or a collection of protocols) and it also have its own clients. However, the official website does not include any iOS client and only has an Android client.
