If you mean the Affinity Photo Sharpen Brush Tool, it is available on the iPad version of Affinity Photo. On the iPad, it is grouped with the Burn Brush Tool in the Photo Persona. To access it, you tap on the Burn Brush Tool icon & then tap on it again to flu out a list of the other tools that share that icon's space.

But no where does it explain selective sharpening... I’ve searched everywhere and got nothing it applies to the whole image and you can’t mask it

@jniiiice The hp filter is already a mask. It is set to show all but you can paint on the layer with a black brush to hide the effect . Add hp filter and set filter layer blend mode to overlay, set the radius in context menu to achieve required sharpening level. Select a brush, set Color to black and with filter layer selected, paint over areas you don’t want sharpened. 

Alternatively set the mask to inverted (hide effect) and paint with white to reveal the sharpening effect. To do this, with the hp filter layer selected open the Channel studio, at the right side of the filter channel tap the 3 dots. In the menu now tap invert. Paint with white.
