Forget what I said, it's gone AWOL again. drats!!!
Aurora Store
The Store loads for me, but it doesn't allow me to do anything else.
I have AuroraStore installed, and configured to open all play/market links, and I disallowed Google Play from handling links. And yet, when I try to open a link in an app, Play Store opens. It's infuriating. What can I do?
cannot help wondering if Google has something to do with the trouble with Aurora, but that might just be a conspiracy theory.
Gray i think it most certainly is Google throttling the anonymous accounts Aurora Store uses.
not sure if anyone else is seeing this but now even searching for appname play store and opening the link in external app (aurora) isn't pulling up the app in question to download.
I've switched to using the play store fully with an anonymous Google account

One solution is to use obtanium in "monitor" mode to check apkmirror for app updates, and get from apk mirror.

If you're in private/incognito mode it won't work. Copy the link to a regular, non-incognito tab. Does that solve your issue?
Aurora still not working correctly. Rate limited, time out....

hybridinear Yep, second that.
NewUser I have been using a throwaway email on Aurora Store with no problem.
Thanks for the tip! This was driving me nuts!

Hey guys,
I have another question regarding the Aurora store.
Does the store actually offer a self-update function or do you always have to download the latest APK's from the manufacturer?
I did not install the store via F-Droid but via the manufacturer's website.
Recently several new stable builds came out and the app unfortunately didn't offer me any of them for download.
In order to search for an app on Aurora Store using an external link, I tried Chromium based browsers like Brave, Kiwi...or Firefox and they all failed. The only browser that works every single time for me is Tor. I'm happy with this workaround but I still wish there would be more alternatives to Aurora where I could install apps on Google Play anonimously.

Hey thanks for your answer, but that's not what I meant unfortunately.
I mean the Aurora store app itself, not my installed apps.

Does anyone else have any ideas perhaps?

Hi V0nium!
Unfortunaltely, no.
But thanks for the question. Since I am also interested in this, I did some research again.
I didn't find a solution for automatic update of the Aurora Store App, but I found out that there is version 4.3.0 (48) (stable) since yesterday!
I downloaded it manually as .apk directly from the developer website and installed it.
Works fine!
