Troubleshooting Common Download & Installation Issues

Issue 1: "The OKX product is not supported in your region"

This message may appear if you are accessing from Hong Kong SAR, which is explicitly unsupported by OKX. If you are not in Hong Kong but have a Hong Kong IP address, try switching to a different network environment.

Issue 2: Installation Blocked by Security Warnings

Solution: When the system warns about "unknown source" installation:

• Android: Go to Settings > Security and enable "Unknown Sources" or disable "Installation Monitoring"

• During installation: Turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data, then proceed with installation (this works for many Chinese-brand phones)

Issue 3: App Not Found on App Store

Solution: You need a non-Mainland Apple ID. Either create your own international Apple ID or acquire one through legitimate channels—though setting up your own is always recommended for security.

Issue 4: Failed to Verify APK Signature

Solution: Always verify the APK file's signature before installation to avoid counterfeit apps:

• Check that the package name is com.okex.android (standard official package)

• Official certificate holder: "OKX PTE. LTD."

• Be cautious of packages like "okxpro" or "okxcoin" which are counterfeit

Security Best Practices

1. Always download from official sources: The OKX official website is https://www.okx.com/. Avoid third-party distribution sites.

2. Verify the APK signature: On Android, use an APK signature verification tool to compare against official SHA-256 checksums.

3. Check the developer certificate: For iOS, ensure the developer is "OKX PTE. LTD." in your device management settings.

4. Back up your wallet: If you create an OKX Wallet, always back up your seed phrase or private keys before updating or reinstalling the app. If you lose them, your wallet assets cannot be recovered.

5. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): After registration, enable Google Authenticator or other 2FA methods to protect your account.
