Hero11 on iPhone and iPad

Why an APK will not install

APK is Android's package format. iOS does not read it at all, which is a platform fact rather than a restriction anyone can toggle. On an iPhone, iPad or iPod the download button on this site opens the browser contest lobby instead, because handing you a file that cannot install would be useless.

An iPad that reports itself as a Mac is detected through touch support and treated the same way.

Browser lobby versus the Android app

For most people the only thing lost is the pre-lock alert. If you check fixtures manually, the browser route is complete.

A note on anything advertising a Hero11 .ipa

No iOS package is described anywhere on this site, because we have not measured one. Treat an .ipa download, a sideload service or a configuration profile offered as “Hero11 for iPhone” as unrelated to the app documented here.

1. Open the contest lobby in Safari or Chrome on iOS.
2. Sign in with your registered number and the SMS code.
3. Use Add to Home Screen if you want an icon.
4. Set fixture reminders yourself, since push alerts need the Android app.

Why platform differences are not settings

Package formats are not interchangeable. An APK is Android's container, read by Android's package manager; iOS has no mechanism to open one, and no toggle, profile or helper app changes that. When a page offers to install an Android file on an iPhone, it is either describing something else or it is not describing anything at all.

The practical consequence is better than it sounds. The contest lobby is a web application, so it reaches the same account and the same contests on any modern browser. What an installed app adds is push notification before a lock — valuable if you play regularly, irrelevant if you check fixtures manually.

Framing it that way avoids the trap this topic creates, where a reader on iOS goes looking for a sideload route that does not exist and finds something worse instead.

What this page does not claim

Pages like this are easy to pad with confident-sounding detail. These are the limits of what we can actually tell you about hero11 on iphone and ipad:

• If an official iOS application is released, this page becomes out of date. Until we can measure one, we describe only what exists.
• Browser behaviour differs slightly between iOS Safari and Chrome; Add to Home Screen is the most noticeable difference.
• We cannot vouch for any third-party sideloading service, and we do not link to any.

Other situations

Every page on this site describes the same measured file: package com.ofho.fhoy, version 1.13.f675, build 497893, 3.14 MB (3,288,315 bytes), minimum Android 7.0, checked 22 October 2026. We publish one set of specs because there is one file; the pages differ by situation, not by spec.
