It seems many are facing these same issues with every version since 3.2.1. You can try 3.2.1 which is not bug-free but it at least should allow you to get past the failed login screen and install apps.
[Android Apps and Games] temporarium:
Try clearing the app's cache (and Aurora Store data if that didn't help).
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Did he not say he did that? Several times?

Anyway, for me 3.2.8 is the first version working flawlessly, since long time.
[Android Apps and Games] Wishmasterflo:
Yes I agree. I have as well no isues at all with 3.2.8 .

Strange that it not working for some users.
[Android Apps and Games] rjm831:
It sounds strange, but I've noticed that as long as I return to the Home page before closing the app, I never have the log-in issue. Only when the app is set to Updates as the default display or when closing the app while still on the Update page does this problem happen to me (even om 3.2.8). Using a Motorola Droid with stock rom & nougat.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
com.android.vending is separate from Aurora Store, which has its own package name. A number of people use Aurora Store with MicroG (Google Play Services alternative), however, which must spoof the signature of the official Play Services in order to work. This usually involves also installing an app called FakeStore, which is a mostly empty app that fakes the existence of the Play Store because some apps crash if com.android.vending is not installed.

So to answer your question: it might be spoofed. It might also not exist. Depends on the setup. If you want to support this type of setup, the easiest option is probably integrating a different verification method that always works regardless of if the Play Store is present. I know Titanium Backup has an option to stick a license file in /sdcard/ to get pro features. Maybe that's a route you could take?
[Android Apps and Games] sianos:
I see,

thanks for the exhaustive explanation.

The separated license file is not the best option for me. I'll think about something then.

i can not get 328 to download updates from play store it says file unavailable
[Android Apps and Games] skariko:
Some apps does not work on Pixel?

Hello, I am using Aurora Store on my Pixel 3a, with the stock ROM.

It is normal that some it can't update some apps like Android System WebView (app not compatible it says) and other apps like "sounds", Connectivity Health Service and others?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
Webview issue I also observed on a Galaxy Note 9 with Stock ROM. Webview is built for different architectures (arm, arm64, x86, ...) and maybe(?) Aurora simply suggests the highest internal version number as upgrade, whilst in fact also some device dependent stuff is coded within that number as well?

Anyway, on Stock at least, you can temporarily enable the genuine play store, which allows upgrading system components even without providing your Google account.
[Android Apps and Games] skariko:
wow it works, i don't know it's possible to update system components without providing Google account on Play Store.

Thanks! :)

[Bug] Aurora app store shows apps installed in other user profiles

I've installed Aurora app store in profile 999 (parallel apps profile on OnePlus phones) but it shows apps installed in user profile 0 (default user profile). So I'm not able to download apps to profile 999 which have been downloaded in profile 0. This needs to be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] SilvioTO:
More doubts...

Does Gmail, Meet, Maps and other Google's apps work if downloaded using Aurora Store?

If so, does my google account risk being blocked if I sign in into each app individually?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
There are different things to be looked at:

The Huawei P40 comes without the G* spy services. Hence apps truly relying on them won't work (properly).

This is not a question of how they have been downloaded. But many popular apps don't need the G* spy services to run (search the net on your own, there are also quite informative articles about Huawei device w/o Google stuff and how to use popular apps).

But I can tell you that most

Google

apps won't work, as they usually deeply integrate with the G* spy services, especially if they use you G* account).

The question however is, what you really need:

Gmail: You can enable regular e-mail standards for your account (via web access) and then use any e-mail app to access GMail, for Maps (which could even work without the G* services, I don't know), you could consider instead Magic Earth, OSMAnd~ (from F-Droid) or Mapy.cz - instead of the YouTube app, use e.g. NewPipe (also F-Droid) etc.
[Android Apps and Games] SilvioTO:
Thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] InContext:
Always broken after a while for me. Using 3.2.8 at present.

It happens no matter where I download the apk from. Auroradroid, Fdroid, direct from Gitlab, Microg.

The only solution I have is that I delete the data, and start again, which is really annoying, especially if my eyes are giving me trouble, having to go to light mode.
[Android Apps and Games] V7BHl1fBkTVNzPR9E13I:
Aurora shows above the "Install" button if the app is GSF dependant or not
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
That is correct. I should have mentioned it - however, the GSF dependency can have different aspects: Some apps would refuse to launch w/o them giving an error, some others are designed to check, whether GSF are present and use them, but also work without and use alternative methods (e.g. Signal messenger or Whatsapp) or simply don't use them (e.g. News apps or e.g. Netflix, where GSF is only used to annoy their users with unnecessary push messages)
[Android Apps and Games] shadowbone:
Apologies if this has been asked before but, is delta updates still a feature in this project or has it been replaced by the normal installation?
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
After selecting which available app updates to download Aurora downloads them in sequence. As each finishes downloading a popup appears for each asking if I wish to install the update.

Is there a way to avoid this individual request to install? I mean when an available app update is selected, selecting it for download should mean 'download and install'.

I looked in Aurora's settings but am not sure which setting to enable to do this.
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
Depends on the chosen install method, which itself depends on the specific situation of your device. If you use and enable AuroraServices or Root install method, this popup won't appear.

If you run the default method (e.g. because you are on Stock ROM, where you don't have any other option, but allowing "unknown sources" to Aurora), then the Android package manager is finally called to perform the app install. The popup in fact comes from the Package Manager and not from Aurora - and this popup is necessary for safety reasons, as otherwise any shady app with granted rights for "unknown sources" could attempt to install apps by calling the PM without user interaction.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Thank you for the explanation.

My phone is rooted stock android 9. Is it safe to give Aurora root privileges? What do you do on your phone?
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
I use AuroraServices and its corresponding install method.

As you are on Stock (even if rooted), AuroraServices most probably is not applicable for you. Whether you want to use the root method or not is up to you, I am not the Dev of Aurora and I haven't carefully checked its source code, but I tend to say that should be OK. If the popups annoy you that much, go for it. On the other hand, the classic method via Android PM is not wrong, and all the fuzz about allowing "unknown sources" being "dangerous" is just BS.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Thank you.

Could you explain how to use Aurora services? How is it different from allowing Aurora root.

What rom do you use?

(The annoyance with the popups is just that if there is a long list of updates, it can be time consuming to have to wait till each in turn downloads and the package manager then sends its popup alert for each one. Kind of makes it 'difficult' to do anything else till they have all finished. And occasionally, a couple of app updates do download for which the package manager's popup did not appear. So they may remain uninstalled unless I recheck the list).
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
I build my own ROMs, where I pre-install AuroraStore and AuroraServices (see here).

AuroraServices is a privileged system app, which you would need to flash - there are e.g. flashable zips here to have it installed as system-less Magisk module. See also FAQ section in this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:

How safe is it to use your own Google Account with Aurora Store? Is there a moderate chance it will get blacklisted, or is it exceptionally rare, and dependant on heavy/specific usage? And if it is can you get it un-blasklisted?

I don't think there are cases where account was blocked because of aurora store but technically you may be breaking eula and google may decide to start blocking those users (imo unlikely)

Suggestions.

Add an option that download more than one Locale apk when downloading a Split APKs.

For example, when I chose two languages in my phone, I will download two languages Locale apk when installing through Play Store. But when I download the same app through Aurora Store, only the main language would be downloaded.

I hope that I will be able to download multiple languages at a time in the future.

Hey all!

A little update, secondary dispenser server is back!

The primary server is still offline.

How to enable secondary dispenser ?

1. Go to Settings -> Networks -> Enable custom tokenizer

2. Enter Tokenizer URL "http://www.auroraoss.in:8080"

3. Go to accounts -> Logout -> Login

4. Enjoy! (Optional)

Keep calm & stay safe.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Is there a disadvantage to leaving the secondary token dispenser permanently on even after the primary dispenser becomes functional again?

Will the primary token dispenser automatically take over or should the secondary dispenser be disabled at that time?

Yeah. I was thinking about the same thing actually. I will leave it as is now with the secondary dispenser and lets see if we get more answers or thoughts regarding this here.
[Android Apps and Games] washwash:
I have a suggestion, if i am in playstore with browser i cannot share the page with aurorastore and i have to use apps that deals with sharing options to open it from browser.

Always from browser the links similar to "

https://play.app.goo.gl/?link=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=something&ddl=1&pcampaignid=web_ddl_1" (its the green button, open in play store) doesnt have the option to open with aurorastore.

You cannot verify purchases through this app. For that you'd need Playstore.
[Android Apps and Games] Ascii3:
[MENTION=5678465]WhyOrean[/MENTION] - I have noticed that Aurora Store no longer registers the device being used with Google Play. I believe this happened early this year.

Would you please look into allow for device registration with Google Play? This would be (and was) especially useful for buying apps at a price greater than 0 via the Google Play website; the purchased apps can then be downloaded via Aurora Store.
[Android Apps and Games] neversayoceans:
Sorry, if this has been answered. But, I could not find the solution. I want to install Aurora services (so that apps can install seamlessly in the background). I am using a Huawei device so can't root or have custom recovery. Is there a way to install the services? I read this: "manually push the APK to /system/priv-app, or install the Magisk module." Can anyone give a step-by-step guide if it is possible and how?
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
I assume you have a modern Huawei shipped w/o Google spy services due to the US ban, and you aren't able to get your boot loader unlocked, right? So no root, no custom recovery, no Magisk.

If you don't have root, no custom recovery and no Magisk, you consequently don't have write permissions to your /system partition. Hence you can't install AuroraServices! Period.

But Aurora w/o AuroraServices also works, and enabling "Unknown Sources" isn't that dangerous, as you can e.g. restrict to Aurora. So you should be OK.
[Android Apps and Games] neversayoceans:
Thanks a lot for the super quick reply. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Bionic88:
I'm not entirely sure if it's possible, but have you tried installing through ADB?
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
If you refer to AuroraServices, forget it. You need to flash the apk file to /system/priv-app and the perm whitelist file to /system/etc/permissions
[Android Apps and Games] Bionic88:
Yeah, I wasn't too sure if it was possible. Thanks for clarifying it. I've been outta the loop for awhile. The last ROM/rooted device I fooled w/ was a Galaxy S4. ADB is the is the extent of my modifying since.
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
It gets back to the need of root, also for adb. If you have it, you can do "adb root" or "adb shell su" obviously, if not, e.g. "adb install" or "adb shell pm install" installs an app only as user app.

1. Last update was months+ ago

2. There are about 50 issues opened (some 2= months old) with 0 responses

3. From commit history I see there is only one maintainer.

Is Aurora as dead as Yalp or on its way to die? is it the destiny of every alternative store? Is it Google either pressing on maintainers/contributors or outright buying them? Or is it just destiny of any non-profit open-source project to eventually just die out? Is "Rahul Patel" the only person interested to maintain and develop it?

I'm just curious in general about state of this.

[Android Apps and Games] s8m:
For some, we are still on version 3.2.1 because every version since then has login issues. I personally don't mind because version 3.2.1 works, but the question is still valid - there is a reason there are so many open issues.

Yeah, he's not supporting and developing just ONE app but also others. In general it's working so... Like someone already said why fix if its working. And why are crying ? It's free and its his own time and work, you should be happy and thankful that you have a working solution.

He's is active and he's doing a hell of a good job for community. And probably if you'll push to hard he'll stop eventually. It's his free time and energy.

If something get broken he'll probably find a solution like always.

Don't demand his free time and energy like you payed something and you didn't get it.

In essence, you're getting the apps from the Play store, but with a fake login - through a proxy.
[Android Apps and Games] Keule-Tm:
What would you gain from encryption?

(You can already spoof device/model in the app, which influences the apps shown to you, plus you can log in anonymously)
[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
This app does NOT use a Proxy. It uses a "Token Dispenser" to provide the app with a method to anonymously log in to the Google Play Store. The download of apps does come directly from Google and without a middleman.
[Android Apps and Games] temporarium:
It was an analogy.
[Android Apps and Games] Wishmasterflo:
No it dont uses a encrypted connection.
[Android Apps and Games] temporarium:
Look, there are malware-laden apps on the Play Store. No one has to sideload them or slip them into your download stream somehow if you're not using common sense and decide to download them yourself.

I've never seen any story about an account being banned for using Aurora/Yalp/MicroG. There was one claim about a ban for using NewPipe but it later turned out to be a hoax: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/2723#issuecomment-541913082

Of course Google bans accounts all the time. Mostly it seems to be related to YouTube content, chargebacks on payments to them, or purported ad fraud, and when it happens there's no recourse and nobody to contact so even if you don't do anything special with the account you should always take precautions (backups).

Bug report: if you update one or more apps from the app description page(s) and then select Update all from the Updates page, the previously selected apps are downloaded again, meaning the same download happens twice concurrently.
