Use latest preRelease version 3.1.4. It might work. I have 12+ character password with special characters, everything is working fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Ninpuukamui:
Hi, thanks for your answer, I tried this but it´s not working with 2fa; I tried both an app password and my own. Do you have 2fa in your account?

This

I'm getting fudging tired of "come to our Telegram group for help or the answer". Already been through this once tonight, are Devs on XDA or fudging telegram, pick one....you're being highly rude to XDA and pissing off users who expect an answer here

As I posted a few minutes ago in another thread, if it were down to me, anyone moving the bulk of their thread discussion/support to a 3rd party app (that most people don't use or want to install) I'd close your fudging thread....but maybe that's just me...

This app seems to be a prime candidate as it's down/broken so often, and no real answers provided here except references to a fricking telegram group ....and an elitist attitude at times by those that inhabit said group...

Not good enough

Here's my vote for either do your support here or close the thread, simples

p.s. For those actually here looking for help, even I tried 2FA and app passwords, it doesn't work...the app versions released here on XDA are broken...
[Android Apps and Games] suolrihm:
If the developer feels like a Telegram Group is a perfect way to share a quick pre release build then it's his choice. Since the group is pretty much active, why not refer to it. Saying that it's disrespectful to the rules is ironic if you do basically the same on this thread - It's his work, his free time. Pay some respect, even if you dislike some decisions or moves.

Regarding to users... That's a hard one. There will be always some beeing pissed off. That's it.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
You're not reading very well. The problem is that the developer does not make a choice at all, he maintains threads on two separate places that are not connected. If he wants to use Telegram for releases and support, that's fine but then stay away from XDA. This is a development forum, not an advertising medium.

Hello,

I tried to log with anonymous account and my personal. It didn't work, I have stable version and no idea what to do. should I just wait? I tried another app - yalp bit there was same problem with anonymous account (I didn't want to get them access to account). Is there any option to start Aurora? Or are there any others apps. I'm really catering cause of I have second phone with clearly installed system without any apps ;)
[Android Apps and Games] GΔM€Rβ0Y:

3. Added new locales Welsh & Estonian.

4. UI improvements.

Been trying for days to log in anonymous. Tried with my vpn, without my vpn, different servers, no luck. Tried custom tokenizer, no luck. Unistalled the app, downloaded and installed the above apk, no luck. App opens and runs, but just blank screens as I can't get logged in. ...........................
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Did you read the post above yours? Exactly this behaviour is a main cause for the anonymous accounts being blocked.

This isn't working for me, not even with my google account. It still does not work
[Android Apps and Games] GΔM€Rβ0Y:
I have tested that Release on 6 different google accounts. All are working fine. If you have 2FA enabled you have to generate app password & use that password for aurora login.

If 2FA not enabled then your account might need an verification, try login through browser once & complete any verification if required.

Many other users facing account login issues too, but on my side everything works well. I also tested it thoroughly on 2 freshly made fake accounts that was created yesterday.

If you agree you can share your account credentials with me in PM for login testing. This is just for testing purpose. i am not sure but might be your DNS/IP blocking aurora login OR google captcha hindering login attempts.
[Android Apps and Games] V0lkod4v:
I uninstalled the stable version and installed the v3.14 Prerelease3. Managed to login without any issues after making a throwaway google account. Glad that it finally works.

Many Thanks guys. Hopefully you will get anonymous login issues fixed soon :good:
[Android Apps and Games] AndroZeek:
need a help. how to create throaway google account?

when I create account and enter temporary number it rejects it and temporary email too.
[Android Apps and Games] Exabyter:
Regarding the anon login issues:

Anonymous logins have been broken for me for the last couple of weeks not only for the Aurora store, but for the Yalp store as well. (Which I presume has a completely different set of "anonymous" accounts it uses to authenticate to Gplay with.)

Ergo, I have a feeling Google may be aggressively going after these 3rd-party Gplay clients now.

None of the alternate Aurora token dispenser hosts worked for me just now. (I'm in the US)
[Android Apps and Games] tbmmbt:
Just clean installed the Aurora pre-release beta but anonymous login not working here ("Anonymous login failed, try again later").
[Android Apps and Games] Wishmasterflo:
Yes Anonymous login is not working now as it is mentioned here some posts above!!!
[Android Apps and Games] tbmmbt:
Sorry, I think I must have misread the previous posts. I thought the anonymous login issue was fixed in the new pre-release but looks like it's still in progress, my mistake!

Aurora_Store_v3.1.4_Stripped

#StripLog: Removed Anonymous Login Temporarily.

Clean installation recommended. The users who are facing account login password error issues should try this version. Anonymous login feature will be added again when it got fixed.

If still unable to login then contact DEV with device log details.

Anyone who wants Dummy account Credentials for Aurora login can PM me.

NOTE:- Dev is currently busy in his academic studies. But he is still making workaround to fix Anonymous login issues. If you like his work then Please Support & Encourage him by making some Donation.

Nope, still doesnt work, even with own account, 2FA and app password

And i know that my 2FA and that app password work because i use them for another app....

This app is broken

Pity the dev only seems to have time for telegram....
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Yes, it is broken.

If you've ever used Telegram it does take a lot of time.... It's like being constantly on the phone.?

My device is Redmi 4X running MIUI 10.3 stable (NAMCNXM). I can't seem to use the anonymous login, I always get "failed try again later" message.

Pity, of all the people, no one even bothers to donate, or assist in the code, but just keeps on complaining.

I know it's difficult to fix.
[Android Apps and Games] 73sydney:
So shut up is your "helpful" message? Nice....

Well heres my reply, on behalf of many

People might donate if dev wasnt segmenting discussion or support of the app onto a seperate platform....and ignoring them here

Like i said a few pages ago, if it were me, id have closed this thread given the way pretty much all support and discussion has moved to telegram

Is the dev on XDA or not?, make a choice.....
[Android Apps and Games] z99vwEfK:
wow, that was one of the most disrespectful thing I've read at xda. what the dev does is up to him, not you
[Android Apps and Games] vdbhb59:
This proves all what I said. I just help him as much as I can. There are many. On XDA he is there, but you don't understand what it means to be what it takes to be!

Im seeing the usual fanboys/trolls ganging up here....not surprised
[Android Apps and Games] z99vwEfK:
I can't see anyone told u to "shut up", stop putting words in people's mouth.i didn't take any party here, I just know developing and maintaining an app, specially this kind of app, is very time consuming and u just expect him to act as u want and I don't think ur in position to do that. I'm off this ridicules discussion now

edit: I can imagine some devs stop using XDA because of people demanding stuff
[Android Apps and Games] 73sydney:
I dont need to put words in anyones mouths because, direct quote, from the post i referred to:

Thats the same as saying "shut up" ...be quiet, shut up, same thing....

Please, stop piling on with the trolls...

As for people demanding things, theres a difference between people demanding things, and thos ewho simply ask a question, and never get an answer bevause the dev is off on Telegraph, instead of replying here, where his thread started, and he was given a platform...ultimately its the dev who has been disrespectful here by moving things off XDA....
[Android Apps and Games] vdbhb59:
lol. I can understand why you are p**sed. You got no one else to tell you "directly", so you are using "my words" to ask for it. rofl

When the anonymous login quit working, I created a fake gmail account to login with. I have been using it on 3 devices for over a week and everything works great. I thought that was what the developer recommended untill things are sorted out.
[Android Apps and Games] SuperJohnson:
Hi.

I use Aurora Store 3.1.3. 3.1.4 is not on F-Droid yet for what I know.

Anonymous login never really worked (I use it for about two monthes). I had to logout then login again when Aurora was buggy.

But since about two weeks, I just can't login anonymously. It says "Anonymous login failed, please try again later!"

I know You too have this issue. Do you know if it's planned to be fixed, and when?

Thanks by advance.
[Android Apps and Games] GΔM€Rβ0Y:
Currently Dev is busy in his academic studies. Anonymous login feature is currently down because of all anonymous accounts are majorly blocked due to large number of session requests by users.

3.1.4 is just PreRelease version its not stable & latest built is "Stripped" one based on PreRelease. You can get that stripped built from below link.

Due to anonymous login feature down, if you want you can use your own created fake account OR use dummy account credentials provided by Aurora For login. Using your own/provided dummy accounts doesn't make you fully anonymous from google, So atlast its your own choice either to use provided Google Login alternatives OR Wait until Dedicated anonymous login feature got fixed.

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] 73sydney:
Ive really had enough of Telegram referrals in this and other threads
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
It's an issue when it's impossible to get support without using Telegram...an issue for us who choose to not use Telegram, anyways.

Developers have choices; they can choose to have their app (yes, it *is* their app, after all) on xda, or not. They can also choose to support users of their app on xda, or not. For me the problem is when a dev switches to Telegram as their primary platform for support, after garnering a user-base here on xda.

I'm not in favor of dev's decisions to move their support, even partially, to Telegram, but it really doesn't matter what I think. What I'm wondering (and haven't looked in to yet, but will right after I post this) is what the xda policy is. Judging from the ever-growing number of app threads in which I'm seeing links to Telegram in response to user questions, it is obviously not prohibited by xda, although I can't imagine that is encouraged.

I come to xda to learn about new apps and how to best use them, amongst many other things; I doubt that many people go to Telegram for the same, but as I said, I don't use Telegram. Honestly, maybe it's just that I'm 'old' don't get what the 'kids are doing these days'. Speaking of which, why *are* some devs using Telegram as their primary means of communicating with users? I'd actually like to know.

BTW, [MENTION=10154025]GΔM€Rβ0Y[/MENTION]'s response of just an emoji is very typical, from what I've seen in several other threads.
[Android Apps and Games] mattgyver:
You have an XDA thread, for users to discuss and get support. Do not force users on to the Telegram group for support. Also, do not ONLY push out updates via TG. If you're only going to support via TG, and announce updates via TG, This thread will be closed.

From our RC-RT Liaison Admin (original post):
[Android Apps and Games] GΔM€Rβ0Y:
Don't worry sir i am always here for posting future Aurora updates. I’ll keep thread updated with latest changes by DEV.

Happy to help :)
[Android Apps and Games] WhyOrean:
I never personally asked anyone to come and join Telegram for support, its just another channel thats it, if you are on telegram its good, if not ping me here I will surely look into it.

I may not reply as promptly here as that of Telegram, but ultimately I will.

Assuming we all know how a messenger & a forum works.

Regarding advertisement, Really ?

What would would I get for advertisement here ?

1. I never segmented the user base, the Telegram group exists only because I find it more convenient.

2. Support and discussion hasn't moved to telegram, its done live on the project's issue tracker, assuming you know how that works it very convenient to discuss issue on the tracker

3. I do not develop for donations, I do it for myself, its just that it can be useful for other so I do share it.

You might have missed bot verification, just ping me there restrictions will be removed.

You will get an in-app update.

No body is forced to use other channels, its just the community I want to serve is so dumb, answers for majority of the questions are right above there questions but people do not wish to read.

I do not have time enough to provide redundant replies to all.

If you are keen to use a FOSS project, then I assume you are aware of how actually they work.

You can always checkout the Gitlab issue tracker to checkout update or report an issue, what is the big deal ?

If you don't know how this things work, better use Google Services itself, you worth it & you deserve it, Go ! Please !

Reagarding the actual issue,

There is a recent protocol change done by Google which now prompt for Captchas on login causing majority of login attempts to fail.

All token dispenser are offline meanwhile for the same reason.

Kindly wait for sometime until the issue is resolved, everything will be restored and you will be notified.

Thanks for your patience & overwhelming support.

I just exited then rejoined the channel. Just be sure to confirm that your human.
[Android Apps and Games] GΔM€Rβ0Y:
Just Test message :)
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I did that. Several times.

It never asked me to confirm I'm human. Just opened the thread with the admin notice immediately at the bottom
[Android Apps and Games] 73sydney:
1) To be clear i never specifically said you were segmenting the userbase, but have a look back over many many many pages and your more active membrs were very definitely trying to encourage people onto Telegram, and posting some very snarky posts to people who voiced their concern at the way that was being done. The continued snarky comments are why i reported those posts yesterday to the admin/mods and asked for some guidance here, hence mattgyvers post, which i think was needed and valid.....i appreciated it because maybe now your more active members have gotten the message....having said that while i never specifically said you were segmenting the userbase, this is your thread, and its kind of expected that you keep and eye on it....we all get busy with life, but i cant imagine you were completely unaware of whats been hapenning here...

The mods wouldnt have posted a warning without reason or checking back over previous comments....

2) Sure i know how am issue tracker works, i have one for my GPay magisk module, but you'll find i answer all questions and support right here on XDA where my module is linked from.....any discussion on the tracker is mirrored here, usually in the form of points in the changelog where i also attribute credit for issues being raised by people. This means no one has to go anywhere else but here to find out anythign about the module.....

3) No one devs for donations, but i like to reward others for things i find useful too, but my primary drive is to help others when i find ways of helping too. So you have my gratitude and sympathy too ....

Im never installing Telegram, because i have enough time contraints following projects on here, and most people on here dont want to do it for that reason either. So i dont understand necessarily why devs want to segment things further for their own sanity either....isnt it just easier to have everything in one place, surely?
[Android Apps and Games] WhyOrean:
That is purely subjective, I'm not compelling you to join Telegram.

Regarding updates, I will surely try to keep this thread more updated.

Hi guys

Aurora store is not working and Yelp store well you know already and there are alternative but all of them are kinda sucks ads and trackers you all know

I am sharing this store with you guys very simple no ads or trackers and open source (I guess extracted from /e/ rom they are known for privacy)

It doesn't require any login stuff

Interface similar to Google play store

And also show Exodus trackers

Just install that's it

Nothing fishing in it just uploading here because I seen many user here they don't have patience at all and asking for updates from dev

Hit thanks if you like it:good:

Edit: Screenshot is also attached
[Android Apps and Games] 73sydney:
Sadly it finds 3 apps it reckons have updates, shows updates for them, but when you hit the update button nothing happens

Which is correct, because Play Store lists no such available updates....

So.....I'm assuming this is reliant on maintaining its own store and app lists, curated by God knows who, which means it's got some serious privacy and safety issues right out of the blocks for me.

Immediately uninstalled....
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrother84:
So yeah, I just want to be honest and ask - is that store have own server and apps? Like e.g. F-droid or something like that? I found there adaway which is not available in a play store.
[Android Apps and Games] :
/e/ rom is nothing but snakeoil, a hoax. Dont using it.

Have a read on this website on why:

https://web.archive.org/web/20191028134235/https://ewwlo.xyz/

The site seems to have be down again, so have to use a snapchot from arcvive.org.
[Android Apps and Games] tremalnaik:
It connects to api.cleanapk.org and static.85.53.63.178.clients.your-server.de (cleanapk api service as well). XPrivacyLua doesn't reveal any strange access to tracking, sensors, ecc., only the list of the installed applications for checking updates. By the way, the owner of the website is anonymous (the whois info just shows that has been registered in Île-de-France (FR)), and there is no html website at www. cleanapk.org. I can understand your perplexity.

But searching a bit more, you will find at info.cleanapk.org a description of the project and searching even more you'll se that it's the the official app store for /e/ ROMs (one of the zillions of ROMs based on LineageOS, but with a proper company behind its developement), so it shouldn't be so bad.
