I use the Owner profile and have been using Aurora Store to install anything not on F-Droid. Was happy with that but Aurora has been giving me "There was a problem parsing the package" errors whenever I try to install updates. Decided to sign in to the Play Store and use it instead, but forgot that doing so would link my Google Account to other Google apps. I use Maps frequently with Android Auto and don't like that my Google account is now linked to it. I understand that I could use a second profile for Google apps, but I don't want the hassle. I've seen mention of cross-profile app updates with Play Store, but I haven't found that to be an actual feature.
I would probably use GMaps WV, but I need the Android Auto functionality. Magic Earth is OK as a backup but doesn't compare to Maps (for me). Am I wrong about the cross profile app updates? Is there another option I'm overlooking? There probably isn't an easy solution here but wanted to ask. Thanks.
