Update documentation for Apple (#2117)

nblock · web-flow · commit c3ef90a7f7b9 · 2024-09-11T18:43:59.000+02:00
* Rename docs/ios-client.md to docs/apple-client.md. Add instructions for macOS; those are copied from the /apple endpoint and slightly modified. Fix doc links in the README. * Move infoboxes for /apple and /windows under the "Goal" section to the top. Those should be seen by users first as they contain *their* specific headscale URL. * Swap order of macOS and iOS to move "Profiles" further down. * Remove apple configuration profiles * Remove Tailscale versions hints * Mention /apple and /windows in the README along with their docs See: #2096

+# Connecting an Apple client
+
+## Goal
+
+This documentation has the goal of showing how a user can use the official iOS and macOS [Tailscale](https://tailscale.com) clients with `headscale`.
+
+!!! info "Instructions on your headscale instance"
+
+    An endpoint with information on how to connect your Apple device
+    is also available at `/apple` on your running instance.
+
+## iOS

+- Open Settings on the iOS device
+- Scroll down to the `third party apps` section, under `Game Center` or `TV Provider`

+  - If the iOS device was previously logged into Tailscale, switch the `Reset Keychain` toggle to `on`
+- Enter the URL of your headscale instance (e.g `https://headscale.example.com`) under `Alternate Coordination Server URL`
+- Restart the app by closing it from the iOS app switcher, open the app and select the regular sign in option
+  _(non-SSO)_. It should open up to the headscale authentication page.
