ARO Mobile Installation Guide

About ARO Mobile​

ARO Mobile is the ARO node app for mobile operating systems (phones).

  • Currently supported: Android
  • Coming soon: iOS

This guide focuses on Android installation and setup.

Before You Start​

Please prepare the following:

  • An Android phone with stable internet access
  • Your ARO account (Dashboard)
  • Permission to install the ARO Mobile APK on your device

You can start from ARO Dashboard -> Add a New Node, then choose ARO Mobile.

Android Installation Steps​

Step 1: Install the APK​

  1. Download the ARO Mobile APK from Dashboard -> Add a New Node.
  2. Tap the downloaded .apk file.
  3. Tap Install.
  4. After installation completes, tap Open.

Step 1.1 - Download APK

Step 1.2 - Install APK

Step 1.3 - Open ARO Mobile

Step 2: Allow Notifications​

When the app first launches, Android may ask:

"Allow ARO Mobile to send you notifications?"

Tap Allow.

Notifications help you receive node status and important runtime updates.

Step 2 - Allow Notifications

Step 3: Optimize App Performance (Required)​

To keep your node stable in the background, complete the performance settings:

  1. In the Optimize App Performance prompt, tap Go to Setting.
  2. Open your phone settings path: Settings -> Battery -> Background usage limits -> Never auto sleeping apps
  3. Add ARO Mobile to Never auto sleeping apps.

This prevents Android from putting ARO Mobile to sleep and interrupting node uptime.

Step 3.2 - Go to Settings

Step 3.3 - Add to Never Auto Sleeping Apps

Step 4: Bind the Node to Dashboard​

  1. In ARO Mobile, copy the node SN.
  2. Go to the ARO Dashboard.
  3. Paste and bind the SN to your node entry.
  4. Confirm the node status becomes Connected.

Step 4.1 - Copy Node SN

Step 4.2 - Bind SN in Dashboard

Step 4.3 - Complete Binding

Step 4.4 - Node Connected

Quick Troubleshooting​

  • Node not staying online: Recheck battery/background settings and confirm ARO Mobile is in Never auto sleeping apps.
  • Cannot bind node: Verify the SN is copied fully and pasted into the correct Dashboard field.
  • No updates shown: Keep notification permission enabled and ensure internet access is stable.
