This behavior is often caused by browser or network settings interfering with the login process. Please follow the steps below:

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide

1. Clear Safari’s Cache and History (iOS)

  • Open the Settings app.
  • Scroll down and tap Safari.
  • Tap Clear History and Website Data to remove cached files and cookies.

2. Adjust Safari Privacy Settings (iOS)

  • Go to Settings > Safari > Privacy & Security.
  • Make sure the following settings are disabled:
    • Block All Cookies
    • Prevent Cross-Site Tracking

3. Clear Chrome’s Cache and Cookies (Android)

  • Open the Chrome app.
  • Tap the three dots menu (top-right corner) and select Settings.
  • Tap Privacy and security > Clear browsing data.
  • Choose Cookies and site data and Cached images and files, then tap Clear data.

4. Adjust Chrome Site Settings (Android)

  • In Chrome, tap Settings > Site Settings.
  • Make sure that:
    • Cookies are allowed.
    • JavaScript is allowed.
    • Pop-ups and redirects are allowed (temporarily if needed for login).

5. Switch Networks (iOS and Android)

  • If you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network, switch to cellular data.
  • If you’re on cellular data, connect to a Wi-Fi network.
  • This can reset the DNS path and resolve login issues.

6. Verify Date and Time Settings (iOS and Android)

  • Go to Settings > General Management > Date and Time (Android) or Settings > General > Date & Time (iOS).
  • Ensure Set Automatically or Use Network-Provided Time is enabled.

7. Try Logging in via Web (iOS and Android)

  • Open Safari (iOS) or Chrome (Android).
  • Navigate to account.roonlabs.com and try logging in.
  • This helps verify your account works outside the app.

8. Clear Roon Account Session History (iOS and Android)

  • While logged in at account.roonlabs.com, navigate to your session history.
  • Remove any outdated or unnecessary sessions that might interfere with new logins.

9. If Using Opera Browser (iOS or Android): Disable Content Blocking

  • Tap the browser’s menu while on the Roon login page.
  • Look for the content blocking or privacy settings.
  • Disable content blocking specifically for this page.

Reinstall the App (if needed)

For iOS:

  • Delete the Roon app from your device.
  • Restart the device.
  • Reinstall the app from the App Store.
  • Attempt to log in again.

For Android:

  • Go to Settings > Apps > Roon.
  • Tap Uninstall.
  • Restart the device.
  • Reinstall Roon from the Google Play Store.
  • Attempt to log in again.

@support,

Subject: Unable to Log In to Roon ARC on iPad – Embedded Login Does Not Redirect

Message:

I’m experiencing a persistent issue when trying to log in to Roon ARC on my iPad (latest iPadOS). The authentication process gets stuck on the account.roon.app screen—after clicking “Login”, nothing happens, and I am not redirected back to the ARC app.

Here’s what I’ve already tried, without success:

  • Fully reinstalling the Roon ARC app
  • Clearing cache and cookies in Safari and Chrome
  • Verifying cookie permissions, JavaScript, pop-ups, and privacy settings
  • Switching between Wi-Fi and cellular networks
  • Trying different browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox)
  • Changing DNS settings (Cloudflare and Google)
  • Logging in from a Mac, where https://account.roon.app/devices returns a 404 Not Found
  • Log in works fine on my iPhone with the same credentials

This clearly indicates the issue is not related to my network or device, but rather a problem with the embedded login flow in Roon ARC for iOS, which fails to properly redirect to the native app.

Please escalate this issue, as I am currently unable to use Roon ARC on my iPad, and I’ve seen other users report similar problems in the forums.
