General information

Keep the following in mind:
  • Each manufacturer exposes device-specific functions differently (for example, reboot).
  • Device management features can differ by Android version.
  • For guaranteed compatibility, we prefer testing the exact device in our Lab before production.
  • The generic non-signed app runs on Android 4.4+, but some device management features may be limited.
  • If the device runs Android 7+ and has a camera, use the 6-Tap provisioning guide.

​
Prerequisites

Each app generates a stable unique device ID. By default, the unique ID is generated from the Wi-Fi MAC address. To obtain the MAC address on Android, the following conditions must be met:
  • Wi-Fi must be enabled (at least when signageOS is first started).
  • Devices on Android 7+ must set the signageOS app as Device Owner.
The signageOS app will inform you if any of these conditions are not met.

​
Installation

  1. Open a browser on the Android device.
  2. Go to https://a.signageos.io.
  3. Download the signageOS Android APK.
  4. Open the downloaded APK and follow the installation steps.
  5. Once installed, open the signageOS app.
  6. Register with the verification code.
