The times are not in favour of alternative apps !
X/Twitter now requires Google Play
- Edited
I installed https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/x-corp/twitter/x-previously-twitter-10-84-0-release-0-release/
with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lb.app_manager - It's the last version without GPlay.

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 cannot see how to disable the play integrity api. Can you elaborate?
I use Mastodon.
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
It's time for Nostr
mmdrsmr Settings
/ Applications
/ "X" app, scroll down to Play integrity API
I have set that native code debugging
is set automatically whenever it's required.
Dynamic code loading via storage had to set manually tho.
I switched to the PWA version because of this

Me too. No need for annoying ads when checking the news for me.
And Elon, who obviously cares so much for free speech that he takes such decisions, has enough money for now I guess
Unfortunately, pwa X doesn't remember last read post for me and open latest available which is highly inconvenient.
