Shadowrocket Android APK installation guide

How to download Shadowrocket for Android APK, choose the right CPU architecture, verify SHA256 checksums, and allow Android VPN permission.

Choose the right APK

Most current Android phones use arm64-v8a. Older 32-bit devices may need armeabi-v7a, while x86 and x86_64 are mainly for emulators or special hardware.

Verify before installing

Compare the SHA256 value on the download page with the file you received. Do not install an APK if the filename, version, or checksum does not match.

First launch

After installation, open the app, import your own node configuration, choose a node, then approve the Android VPN permission prompt.
