I've been using X/Twitter for years with no problem. Now all of a sudden it requires Google Play to use the app. If there any solution that doesn't require using a web browser to log in?

    No. Latest update require to be installed from Google Play Store.
    Had it installed and updated in Aurora Store but that won't work anymore.

    And it uses play integrity api.

    The times are not in favour of alternative apps !

    mikma blocking play integrity api is allowing that?
    I have aurora from f-droid

        I don't understand what you're meaning...
        But if you install App Manager with Aurora Store, and download the X 10.84.0-release-0 file from the address, and install the X's split apk with App Manager you are fine. The 10.84.0-release-0 is the last X without the Google Play requirement.

            mikma your link for app manager don't work and one searchable in Aurora is Google play dependent

              I am using TrackerControl, and I need to disable the monitoring for the application, and it starts just fine.

              Elon needs to be made aware of this limitation.

              Ok, I was incorrect. The App Manager nags about the same Play Store error, but if you try to open the downloaded X apk file, you can select App Manager and it will install X.

              I just use Brave for all my X needs. Blocks all the ads.

              I've deleted X installed from Play Store, installed it again from Aurora, enabled memory DCL and disabled play integrity api and... it works with no complain again.

                I updated to the current version of X via Aurora and Allowed 'Native code debugging' in App info.
                This made it work properly again.

                mmdrsmr it requires google play services to be installed, it will appear whenever the integrity api is called as a notification

                  I use mastodon (for twitter like) / friendica (for facebook like) microblogging - part of the fediverse

                  no ads, no tracking, no algorithm, no surveillance >> booyaa awesome sauce
