Is it safe to use VPN to downoad application from App Store?

Hello, I'm a bit curious about how safe to use VPN to download from App Store?


In other words, can someone intercept the download and put the 'bad app' instead of the right application to my device?


Thank you very much.

Yeah, that's safe, I would not recommend to use a VPN you do not trust however.


As there are a lot more implications like tracking your browsing.


But there is no way for a VPN to switch out your apps like that.
