Thanks for you response MSe1969 :)

Firstly I did not install AuroraServices - only the latest nightly AuroraStore from http://auroraoss.com/Nightly/ - as suggested:

So surely it would use the existing privapp-permissions-AuroraStore.xml file in:

/system/etc/permissions

:confused:

However, as I have said, for whatever reason the Aurora Store app didn't show as installed, in normal phone operation, so subsequently I reversed this reinstalling the original Aurora Store app (v.3.06), via adb, back to:

/system/priv-app/AuroraStore/

And things were as they were before I started :(

So I decided to take a look at your link MSe1969:

And basically I decided to do your AuroraStore-prebuild install manually but using the latest apks from WhyOrean's Gitlab.

So, via adb, I removed AuroraStore directory complete with AuroraStore.apk from:

/system/priv-app/

And replaced it with:

/system/priv-app/AuroraServices/AuroraServices_1.0.2.apk

I 'installed' (pushed):

/system/app/AuroraStore/AuroraStore_3.0.9.apk

& I replaced:

/system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-AuroraStore.xml

with your:

/system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-AuroraServices.xml

I ensured all directory & file ownership & permissions were correct, rebooted & all was good.

Following directions on this thread & in the Aurora Store 'README' from WhyOrean's Gitlab:

Note:

By the way WhyOrean I think that services (I highlighted in red) perhaps should be Store?

I then installed eBay app via Aurora Store & no problem with the install - the "Installation Failed" issue had gone :good:

However when I went login to the eBay app the 'Invalid Request' issue was still there.

So I uninstalled the eBay app, cleared caches, & going by WhyOrean's advice in his post #368:

I set Root access to Apps in Developer Options & I set the Aurora Store settings Installation method from Aurora Services to Root (which negates Aurora Services ??) & it asked for Root permissions, which I granted.

Again I installed eBay app via Aurora Store & again no problem with the install - the "Installation Failed" issue had gone - but when I went login to the eBay app the 'Invalid Request' issue was still there. :(

My final throw of the dice was to uninstall the eBay app, cleared caches & then reverse totally what I had detailed in this post however instead of reinstalling the original AuroraStore_3.0.6.apk I installed AuroraStore_3.0.9.apk set Root access to Apps in Developer Options & the Aurora Store settings Installation method to Root. I granted Root permissions (Developer Options) but was now confronted with he "Installation Failed" issue again :eek:

So I don't know what to do - maybe this PlayStore validation 'requirement' has scuppered me? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
Here are my 5 cents: I think, especially because the eBay app uses the "read google service configuration" permission, that it simply uses a Playstore functionality to perform a "license check" - this has nothing to do with the installation process as such. It is simply executed every time the app launches. There is nothing you can do about that technically. As I commented already in the MotoG thread, I would simply consider stopping to use this app, as I do not see any legitimate use case for such actions (we talk about a free to download app acting as a frontend to a server, where you need credentials to logon - such validations, do make sense for paid apps only), but quite a few use cases pointing into the direction of a very nosy app, which has been mainly designed to spy on you and/or flood you with advertising, whilst - as a side product - also acting as a frontend to the eBay server. If you look at the reviews, people complain about not being able to switch off push messages etc. Of course, your decision - just my opinion. If somebody tries to treat me like a child by simply "forcing me to my luck", I don't want to deal with them.

I'm still having a hard time using the spoof location thing. Because everytime getting to the setting always prompted me to log out in order to change. Then after logging out I changed the location, sometimes it worked sometimes is not.
[Android Apps and Games] P-KAY 2323:
Hey. I'm installing the app as we speak. But I'm unsure of what you meant about being blacklisted if I use my account. Can you elaborate on that a bit?
[Android Apps and Games] Personal Sandwich:
Love the app thanks! Would be interested in seeing more modern device options in the spoof device menu. I'm no android developer but I could look at making a PR if you'd like?

Would appreciate any info on where the default options live, and how the information needed was gathered if possible? I got as far as finding https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/Aurora...om/aurora/store/manager/SpoofManager.java#L64 and I don't want to go further unless it would be something you're interested in
[Android Apps and Games] WhyOrean:
Thanks for your kind words.

Regarding more recent device configs, you can export your own device config or get from other sources and make a pull request here, I will merge it.
[Android Apps and Games] WhyOrean:
Even I'm unsure of what Google might do with your account, hence the warning !

Although I haven't come across any such encounter so far, I myself is using my own personal account for more that 2 years now.

No body else tinkers with Aurora Store more than I do, so if I'm not blocked yet, you wont get ever !

I guess you missed using VPN, for a successful location spoof VPN is also required. Set the location on VPN nearest to your spoofed location.

Although I dont have any personal preference to VPNs neither I'm doing any advert, but I use Psiphon for my tests & it works fine

Are you lost my friend ?
[Android Apps and Games] WhyOrean:
The above mentioned usecases and observations clearly point out that the dev at ebay required playstore for certain validation as that of many icons packs, which as of now Aurora Store cant validate.

Also I'm not aware of any method/workaround to resolve this issue.

#Will fix the FAQ typo, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] WhyOrean:
Known bug, will fix ASAP.

Just install, login & use
[Android Apps and Games] Scranalot:
Thanks for you response MSe1969 I understand - & agree with what you say - however my quandary is that I do use eBay either via the app (android) or web-browser (PC/Laptop). Either which way they have my info & subject me to adverts & 'offers' either push notifications (via the app) or email - I kind of accept that as the price for using eBay.

Other practices that eBay has that I'm not keen on are the link to PayPal - that has to be offered for selling & the increasing lack of seller support should there be issues with the buyer - but 'what cannot be cured must be endured' if I want to continue using it :rolleyes:

Regarding the login issue I was trying to follow WhyOrean's advice here:

However as can be seen from my previous post on this thread, #413, I can't seem to get it to work for me.

My other Moto G, XT1032, has the eBay app running no problem on your clean install of the April release of your ROM MSe1969 -https://xdaforums.com/moto-g/development/lineageos-14-1-substratum-moto-g-falcon-t3808428 - B Variant.

I'm pretty sure I had a backed version up the eBay.apk, which came from when I was on Lineage OS 14.1 with GAPPS installed on my XT1032 - however I have unfortunately 'lost' that particular version of the eBay.apk & I have since 'updated' it via Yalp Store & now via Aurora Store.

It is still working OK so I guess something is perhaps 'embedded' on the XT1032 :confused:

I've also tried porting the eBay.apk from my XT1032 to my XT1033 but still get the the 'Invalid Request' issue when trying to login.

So I can't seem to get it to work for me despite following WhyOrean's advice quoted above in this post.

Cheers

Just seen this response WhyOrean - you must have posted while I was composing my last post #423 because there are things that you have answered things that I mentioned in that post.

Thanks anyway ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
See https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/ebay-mobile/ebay/ and pick the right version.
[Android Apps and Games] Scranalot:
Thanks for the suggestion Mynaco but I'll pass cheers bearing in mind all the info the app accesses & that www.apkmirror.com are third-party application vendor.

I accept that www.apkmirror.com's credentials & vetting procedures seem good but I don't wish to take the risk in this case

Cheers ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
You can compare the app signatures from apkmirror.com and the one from Play Store. To do this, you can use VirusTotal, as it shows you the signature hash. If the hash matches, the signature is identical and apkmirror.com has not tinkered with the app. :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I love Aurora, but now, everytime I start the app I get a screen telling me you're logged out'.

I've rebooted but nothing changed.

Checking my titanium backups I see there are backups of

Aurora store 3.0.9

And older ones of

Aurora store 2.0.5-β

How do I get logged back in?

I've restored both backups with no difference.
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
Do the following steps:

- Force close

- Go to Settings - Accounts

- Choose Logoff

- Force close again

- Go to Settings - Accounts

- Choose again anonymous Logon
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Thank you!

Worked perfectly. I'm very grateful.
[Android Apps and Games] Noboty:
Cannot sign in with my google account

I try to use my account password, says to check my password. I try to use an app password, says to check my password. I try to use the anonymous account, it works. However, I then cannot use the applications I have paid for, which is unacceptable. How do I fix this?

I was getting the gplay login error, but I just kept trying with the in-app password, and it decided to do work. Unclear what changed to make that happen.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
When I had the login problem someone suggested:

- Force close

- Go to Settings - Accounts

- Choose Logoff

- Force close again

- Go to Settings - Accounts

- Choose again anonymous Logon

And it solved it.

I hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] tomatopotato1229:
I'm also unable to log in with my Google account credentials. I'm wondering if it's related to password length? I use a very long pw.
[Android Apps and Games] GrapeBandit:
This worked to get me logged into my google account. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Glad it worked. Click on the thanks icon.
[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
Exactly. These signatures change in the timescale of decades, so the signature shouldn't have changed.

As I said earlier, virustotal.com shows you the signature and many other details of uploaded apks. You can check the signature hash of both apks and the hash should match.

To check another way if the signatures match, you can install the older version and then try to install the newer version manually (with the package manager, as apk). If the package manager asks if you want to update, the signatures match. Otherwise, the package manager will tell you that this isn't allowed (as the signatures don't match).
[Android Apps and Games] tomatopotato1229:
I'm not sure I understand. The last step says "Choose again anonymous Logon". How did selecting anonymous login help you get in with your real account? Do you mean you tried logging in with your real account after selecting anonymous logon?

Anyone knows a solution for this?

[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
Replace the last statement with: Logon with your G* credentials

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

You need to also place a permission white listing file into /system/etc/permissions - e.g. this: https://github.com/MSe1969/AuroraStore-prebuilt/blob/master/privapp-permissions-AuroraServices.xml - the used permissions to perform system installs are "privileged permissions", which can only be declared by privileged apps, but they must be granted through such a file. LineageOS 16 now enforces this, and RR most probably does the same.
[Android Apps and Games] Itchyfantastico:
Thank you very much, but this is unfortunately not the solution as it is already in the folder.

The permission file was installed automatically with the aurora service package for magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
I am right now on vacation and therefore don't have a build environment. So can only check myself in two weeks, but maybe then this is clarified. I vaguely remember having read something several weeks (or months?) ago about pie and package installer, but not sure it relates to this... Will follow comments on this here in the meantime.
[Android Apps and Games] cHECKjAM:
I have two rooted lineage+magisk+microg+nanodroid phones here exactly the same: xiaomi mi8.

On both I could install shelter for workprofiles. Then install f-droid and from there install aurora store, both in workspace.

I did nothing special just jump in to aurora store and install apps I wanted in the workspace. However I encountered some problems with a scenario not related to aurora store or shelter/work profiles.

So I re flashed from a twrp backup and tried again. Another problem and reflashed again. This time Aurora store refuses to download files, it is just loading and loading. No error message or anything..

I triedreloading from he same backup like 5 times but the exact same problem. aurora store works fine in normal profile but in work profile it just wont download. Ive tried everything... I just worked flawless a while ago and then reload from a backup in twrp and now not working..

Im not a expert user and I have tried all I know.. I cant find any kind of log for aurora store though as maybe it can give me a clue.. Any help is appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] cHECKjAM:
Is nobody else having login problems with anonymous accounts? Ive tried everything. I reflashed my entire phone and then it worked at first. Then later on without any changes both mine and my gf phones cant login anymore to aurora store...

EDIT: Now suddenly from nowehre my girlfriends aurora store worked suddenly. AFter It could not search or do anything for a few hours.

Im starting to think the problem is the ammount of logins at the same time from our IP? Since we use work profile for google playstore apps its actually 4 instances on these 2 phones that Ive been trying to set up the last 2 days.

Maybe we need to use proxies and stuff for the app..?
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
Not talking about maybe a special issue with Shelter and work profiles from your other post, but if you scroll up, you will see others (including me) experience from time to time the behavior of lost function. It seems to be somehow related to the generated "token" (kind of a unique checksum of your device containing the device spec, account e-mail/generated fake e-mail and some unique identifier, which is required to connect to the G* servers), which seems to get invalidated, maybe by the G* server. Workaround described also further above: Choose logoff from settings, then force close the Aurora app. Afterwards, specify anonymous logon again - sometimes several attempts needed before it works again. Exact reasons I have no clue about ...
[Android Apps and Games] cHECKjAM:
Thanks.

Well it seems like something else was causing some problems. It didnt really specify that it was required (maybe its not because it worked at first). But I didnt touch the aurora service first. Now I started experimenting and it seems to help. So first I open it and see only first permission is granted, not second. So I open aurora store app, go to installation and it asks me for superuser permission - I hit yes.

Now I go to installation method and choose aurora service.

This seems to help. It didnt really say in aurora "wiki" or the nanodroid documentation that this is required to do - and as I said it wasnt at first either. Everything worked fine directly after a flashed magisk at first etc...

But now that I have two checkboxes on aurora service and changed installation method in aurora store it seems to work to login and download apks etc.. We'll see how long this will work now but at least now I know something with aurora was the problem and not my settings in the phone. So I dont need to reflash and start over again and again to make it work..

Good morning,

First of all, thanks for the application.

I just installed version 3.0.9, and I am trying to log in with an anonymous account, but I always appreciate it: "offline".

What I can do?.

Is it a bug?.

Same here with Oneplus 5T oxygenOS 9.0.8, latest Aurora. Clean storage/clean cash/force stop doesn't do anything. Tried reinstalling, now I can't even anonymously login, says "timeout" after trying for a while.

Don't understand if it's the same problem discussed in the few previous posts

Good afternoon,

I found another bug.

It does not show opinions despite clicking on "read all opinions".

I think the app has too many bugs, Yalp Store works better.

Regards

Enviado desde mi unknown mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] e.v.o:
I really hate to read all those dumb comments about that X or Y is better. This app is a work in progress and an amazing work! Whats so hard to just appreciate it? It really makes me sad to read all those hateful comments in the issues section. There is some guy that puts his time, effort and money in building an app like that and he mostly gets comments from pissed people...

About the Servies APK: Could you make a small readme.md that points to the releases? Never used GitLab before and just didn't saw it (shame on me...)

And many many thanks for this great app!
[Android Apps and Games] gonzo1963:
Good morning,

I am very sorry that my comment about the comparison of applications has bothered you.

My intention was simply to point out that the application on which Aurora Store is based (Yalp Store), did not have the bugs that Aurora currently has, in case this helps the developer. And my wish is to be repaired, since, Aurora, it seems an excellent application, but improved.

Regards

Enviado desde mi unknown mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
The "original" Yalp app hasn't been maintained since October 2018 and since May 2019, the app search stopped working, which made it unusable. Further, G*'s latest (imo useless) "split apk feature", which they try to urge on the app developers, also has caused issues on Yalp users, who did not use Yalp as flashed privileged system app.

G* keeps updating/changing their infra (which of course is their right), so it is expected, that things, which used to work flawlessly in the past, suddenly stop working, until the dev finds a solution.

As the dev of Yalp has stopped maintaining Yalp, this has driven e.g. me to switch to AuroraStore.

So when you point out that Yalp (still) works better, I wonder to which Yalp app you refer to...?

I have noticed however, that there is also a fork available on F-Droid, which seems to be a direct continuation of the original Yalp app, but F-Droid shows it incompatible to my device... Do you mean that fork or how do you manage to still use Yalp?
[Android Apps and Games] gonzo1963:
Good morning,

I use this, and it's work ok on Android 7.1.1.

It has some bugs, but...

I am sorry again if you have bothered my comments. It was not my intention.

[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
NP - OK, this is the original Yalp app.

And the app search still really works for you? So if you search for any new app, which you haven't installed yet, do you get a comprehensive hit list?

Example: I don't use WA (yikes!) and when I entered e.g. "WhatsApp" for testing purposes, Yalp did not return any search results, and I could reproduce this for any app.

Installation (Aurora Service)

Hi

How can i enable the installationmethode as Aurora Service?

I have install aurora store as system app but when i choose at install methode Aurora Service it says aurora service is not installed any solution or tip?

thx
[Android Apps and Games] geronimoge:
Hello,

first of all many thanks [MENTION=5678465]WhyOrean[/MENTION] for this great app and sorry for my bad english.

Unfortunately i have a problem with the app Spotify:

Since a few weeks (or the last two versions) the app is crashing when download and installation has finished and i'm trying to launch the app.

When i'm downloading and installing the apk beside Aurora Store it's working like a charm.

It's only an idea but could it be that the problem is a result of the way of the download handling in Aurora Store?

When I'm starting the download in Aurora Store it results in four spotify apks in the download area.

Any ideas how to handle that?

Here you can find the error log:
