P7P; I downloaded the latest AS from F-Droid and it didn't work. Turned off my always-on VPN and it worked fine.
HTH. (I do have the play store open by default link disabled)

I'm having trouble with Aurora, someone mentioned "rate limited", that's my problem, when searching I get a message "Oops, This account is rate limited" I have no idea what that means. Any help appreciated.

    Thanks Volen, I installed it into GrapheneOS but got stuck somewhere where it mentions "repositories", I will try again. Thanks Treequell for the link also.

    Not too impressed with Aurora Droid, I can't even find apps I downloaded from Aurora, a lot is missing.

    Volen that link refers to Aurora Droid (F-Droid Client), not Autora Store

      Can anyone else confirm that this build is working as it supposed to be? (Search fuction/anonymous/no rate limit)

        HoarseMan Hi HM... could you explain the process to get this to work please... I too installed the nightly build etc... but when I search for a new app, it opens Google App Store and wants me to log in rather than displaying my app... ??? thx, VAULT

          Volen when I click on the the arrow in the square, nothing happens. Did I miss something?

          Perhaps I spoke too soon. It took me to the Play Store also, but I was looking for a Google app in that case so it seemed normal. Prior to installing the nightly searches in Aurora didn't work and they si now

            Hi,

            It used to be possible for the play store to update apps installed by Aurora, and vice versa (except that there was an extra prompt to validate if I recall correctly).
            Now my play store does not find any update for apps unless I specifically search for the app and open it's page, in which case the "install" button changes to "update".

            Any idea why that is ? I can't reasonably manually reinstall all apps from the play store.

            Thanks !

            Has ANYONE got this working... today is the 16 May 2023, and I STILL can't understand how to get this working. Here's what I have tried again today:

            1) I watched this short vid to show me what to do... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQosj8Ak0tk

            2) I have installed the Nightly Build from here (https://files.auroraoss.com/?folder=AuroraStore/Nightly), opened and granted the usual permissions it wants.

            3) I THEN "long pressed" Aurora Store App icon to get "App Info", then tapped "Open By Default" which the toggle switch is already turned "on"... then tapped "Add Link", but the two links that are shown in the video that I am meant to "tick" are GREYED OUT...

            4) I installed Firefox for this as Vanadium didnt give me the option to "open in external app" but Firefox does:
            So... when I then try to open an app link, like the one on the Signal Webpage, and select "open in external app" it does NOT use Aurora Store, but still opens Play Store...

            ANYONE got this working yet... ??? Please help me understand what I am doing wrong... :(

            Many thanks
            VAULT

            VAULT glad to hear it's working for you. If in the future it fails to fetch app details, just restart Aurora to open a new session and tap on the link again.

            I tried the following steps. I am getting a 'Oops, This account is rate limited.' error.

            1. Search for 'Google play appname' on duckduckgo
            2. Copied the app link
            3. Opened a new session on Aurora store
            4. Pasted the link in the Search field of Aurora store
            5. Error is displayed

            Is there a hack to bypass the rate limiting error?

            I do not wish to use the apk file, assuming it is even available outside of Google store which I don't think it is, as it is a bank app, and I would rather source it from Google playstore, but install it from Aurora store using anonymous login.

            When is Aurora store going to fix these issues?
