Report app compatibility on GOS through Aurora Store

nandohyphen1

You know how on Aurora Store it will say, 'This app requires Google Play services', 'Unknown not checked yet', or 'compatible'? Well I've gotten some apps that are 'Unknown not checked yet' to work and I was wondering if there's a way to report that it works on GOS so that it would now say 'Compatible' so other people know it works on degoogled phones. :)

Aurora Store is not recommended. You can search for it on this forum and find more than enough discussions about it going into more detail.

Point is, you're not avoiding Google by using it and you're certainly not "degoogled", but are instead decreasing your privacy and security.

It is recommend to get apps from the official Play Store with sandboxed Play Services instead.

nandohyphen1 I think you would need to take that up with Aurora, which is an organization unrelated to the GrapheneOS project.

nandohyphen1 Ask at the Aurora Store project instead? They probably provide a way to submit your findings!

Yes I do know this. I asked this question because for everyone who does use Aurora, this would be nice. I do use it a little bit. :)

Yes this is what I was planning on. Just thought I'd ask first though and see if there was a way to report this without having to contact them first. Thanks! :)

nandohyphen1 you are not likely to find your answer on this forum since I realized that Plexus involves personnel who historically don't go down well with GrapheneOS development team, namely.... (this is likely to get moderated anyway)
