W1zardK1ng Not what the OP asked, and there are legitimate use cases for Aurora Store as well as the alternatives, depending on threat models and app requirements. For me Aurora still works very well with the link-workaround, and it spares me from using Google Play Services or trust third parties like APKPure for installing some apps.
goatmeal Don't worry about it, it took me like 30m of trial and error to figure it out and I wish I had known this forum back then to quickly ask for help. :)
Regarding alternatives: We have 2 current threads discussing the matter here and here. Personally I'm very fond of this post from User2288 who did an excellent overview of the current options (starts when adressing SpeakYourMind).
