Frequently Asked Questions
What package name does this app install as?
The application installs under the package name com.github.shadowsocks and is published by Max Lv in the communication category. Confirming that identifier on your device after installation is the straightforward way to verify that the app matches the one described on this page.
Will this app run on my handset?
The listing states a minimum supported Android release in its requirements line. Check the Android version currently installed on your device and compare it with that stated requirement: handsets below the baseline will not be able to install the app, while devices running newer releases should be accepted, depending on any limits set by the manufacturer.
How much storage does the download take?
The download file is 25.0 MB. The installed application will occupy more space than that once the package is unpacked and written to your device, so it is sensible to confirm that some spare storage is available before you begin, rather than discovering mid-installation that space has run out.
Is a content rating given for this app?
The content rating field for this listing is recorded as unknown, so no age classification has been supplied. If you are installing the app on a shared or family device, that absence means you will need to make your own judgement about suitability once the application is running.
Is the listed release a stable one?
The current listing is a nightly build dated 2026-02-13. The nightly label marks it as a pre-release track rather than a settled milestone, which usually means it changes more frequently and may behave differently from a fully settled release, so keep note of the build you have installed.
