What does it even mean for an app to be ".cn"? Apps typically aren't identified by DNS names. Did you have to download it from a .cn domain? Is it just a roundabout way of saying the app was Chinese?

Aren't they, at least on Android?

The gmail app is com.google.android.gm [1], and so on. The app ids are Java style reverse ordered dns names.

According to this definition, is there any meaningful difference between a ".cn app" and a ".com app" like com.zhiliaoapp.musically?
