Seems to be working for me (in the EU).

- GrapheneOS isn't John Android. Stop black and white thinking. You don't have to fit in with people when you post to .ml.
- If you have read the thread you are posting (relevant message 18 hours ago as opposed to this post 13 hours ago), you would have seen that you can just press "reload accounts" to fix it.
It's working fine for me while logged in. It's always been crap when logged out. This is nothing new.
Isn't the whole point of it to get apps without login/anonymously?
for some people maybe, but if that was the whole point of the project then why would they even have the option to log in?
Install it so I don't have to have Google Play. Yes, Google can see what apps I have installed, but they don't have their code running on my device. I consider it a 99% harm reduction.
just tested it, at first i got rate limited(?) "server busy" but a minute later the updates went through fine
Classic Graphene users, making this all about themselves. This hurts Aurora users, period.
Ironically, this hurts Graphene users the less because they can sandbox their google play services.
It's on fdroid.
I recommend blocking play store.
What is on fdroid??
They are not blocking the download of the app from playstore. It was obviously not available there in the first place. They blocked API access to the google servers where aurora store was getting the apk files from. They just killed the concept of aurora store (and any alternative playstore frontend) entirely.
Aurora still works for me for now on Samsung stock OS. I now mostly install Google Play apps with APKPure over Obtainium tho and only use Aurora for those not on APKPure. And most of my apps are from GitHub/GitLab releases and F-Droid. I disabled Google Play and didn't login to Google account. I don't want the requirement of a Google account to install an app and Play Integrity to run an app. It is by no means acceptable that a company, using a closed source implementation that also tracks user and breaks Android security model, can censor what apps a user can install and decide what security and privacy compromises a user needs to agree to just use the normal phone functionalities that they pay for and by no mean require those compromises technically. They are turning Android into a service and a prison like iOS did rather than a software.
