[MENTION=5678465]WhyOrean[/MENTION] Big Thanks for continuous support & new version :good:

Short question (maybe I missed sth):

Is there an option to update Aurora to the latest version inside Aurora? Sth like OTA Update? Or do I have to DL & install it manually (as I've done it up to now)?
[Android Apps and Games] gonzo1963:
Good morning,

What is the "Favorite applications" section for?

I only see the list of the ones I have chosen.

I mark the check that each one has.

I cannot do anything; It doesn't open them, it doesn't install them, I can't delete them, I can't export them, nothing.

Aurora has gotten stuck previous times trying to update Goggle Play Services but I've usually solved the problem in some way usually by rebooting.

But this time it is really stuck. Closing Aurora, rebooting, refreshing, updating Goggle Play Services via Google Play (successfully) have failed to get Aurora out of its stuck mode.

What to do? I would prefer not to reinstall Aurora.

Edit:

Clearing Aurora cache finally did it.

But this has happened repeatedly before. Is there a solution to this problem?

I'm on Android 9.

Try disabling the option of Aurora auto installing APKs and see if a manual install resolve it.
[Android Apps and Games] hypern0va:
Hello everybody,

I'm using Aurora Store and noticed I always need to manually update my apps: the option for automatic updates in Settings -> Updates is enabled, such as the option for automatic installation after download (mentioning it in case this could be the problem).

I did a quick search in this thread and the most recent result for "auto updates" is this post, mentioning that the option has been added (and since there are no newer search results, I think it should be working):

Also, my installation method is through Aurora Services.

Anyone has ideas about what could be the cause for auto updates not working? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
An additional reboot finally got rid of it.

This has happened before always with Google Play Services. I'll not try to update it again via Aurora.

Don't worry I have the same issue too. Just be patient, updates are released regularly.

For now, just clear Aurora data if you really want to empty your "Favorited apps" (or just click the love button for each favorited app again).

Is there anyway you could add more devices to spoof list I have a OnePlus 7 pro 5G and a Nvidia Shield Pro

I bought a game Grid Autosport on my OnePlus 7 pro and want it on my shield but it's not on the store and it says it's compatible with pixel 2 but when I use pixel 2 as spoof device it's not showing in aurora if I could export my device to use on my shield that would be awesome but keeps saying failed

Project Mainline Support?

First of all I wanted to say thank you for developing this amazing app :good:

After installing Android 10 on my Galaxy S7 I was reading a lot about project mainline. I don't want to use google play services, which is the reason for me using Aurora Store. Therefore I wanted to ask whether it would theoretically be possible to get mainline updates through Aurora and if so, whether such a feature is planned.

I am having the same trouble with Aurora v 3.2.1 (F-Droid).

In addition, I noticed two apk files in the Aurora download directory.

Both apps are installed. One apk is for the current version; the other is for an older version.

I tried two things within Aurora:

1. Viewing "downloads", I selected clear all downloads. This appears to have just cleared the list.

2. In settings, I selected clear all junk files/downloads.

(I can't confirm the wording now because I used the about-support link to open the XDA App. Trying to open Aurora brings me directly back to this draft. Google devs are geniuses. )

The two apk files are still in the Aurora download directory. I think I can hear them laughing at me.

I suspect that I'll have to mount a direct assault on the offending apk files to shut them up.

UPDATE: I checked on the steps I used for attempt 2.

Within Aurora, I opened Settings-Downloads and selected "Force clear junk files".

I used Total Commander (strong favorite for file manager) to delete the offending apk files. They are no longer laughing in that obnoxious, rude manner.

---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 AM ----------

I doubt that Aurora will add support for a version of Android that is older than what it currently supports.

Further, I very much doubt that any app is likely to add support for a version of Android that is 5 versions older than the current release.

If a new device is not an option for you, have you considered a used, but newer device?

You might also look at what ROMs are available, but even with a ROM running a slightly newer version of Android you will still have security issues and eventually your device is likely to be slow enough that it will be frustrating.

I wish you the best.

P.S./N.B.

Before Aurora, Yalp was an alternative for Google Play.

It is no longer developed, but it does run on KitKat 4.4.2 - I have an old device with that setup now.

It still shows up on F-Droid.

I just replied to two (2) separate posts in this thread.

I posted the first reply, and later noticed another post that I decided to reply to.

I previewed each reply before submitting, and each previewed as separate posts.

Both were merged into a single post, which surprised me. (I'm wondering what will happen with this.)

Is this normal behavior for XDA that I just have not noticed?

UPDATE:

This post was merged with my two replies.

I had the trouble with a browser, so now I'm trying the XDA App.

FURTHER UPDATE:

The XDA App merged what it called a "New Post" with my earlier replies.

The difference with the app is that it ignored my device's time (possibly time zone) and labeled the new merge as happening five hours in the future.

Note that it did NOT use UTC.

It seems to think I'm in Rome.

?

Does XDA want me to get SARS-CoV-2, a.k.a. Covid19?

[MENTION=5678465]WhyOrean[/MENTION] - There appears to be a problem searching for apps in Aurora Store version 3.2.2 and 3.2.3. Searching using version 3.2.0 does work. I did not test version 3.2.1.

For example, when I try to search using package name in version 3.2.2 or 3.2.3, the particular app is not returned or appears in the search results. When searching for app name using version 3.2.2, version 3.2.3 untested, the particular app is not returned or appears in the search results.

[Android Apps and Games] rho-bot:
Service is properly installed & working, it's a store issue.

completely wiped & reinstalled 3.2.3, configured for A.Services & auto-install => DL works, auto-install fails

completely wiped & reinstalled 3.2.4, configured for A.Services & auto-install => DL works, auto-install fails

completely wiped & reinstalled 3.2.0, configured for A.Services & auto-install => DL works, auto-install works as before

So I will have to stay on 3.2.0 until things have settled.
[Android Apps and Games] temporarium:
Same here: auto install works fine on 3.2.0, but fails on newer releases.

EDIT: 3.2.4 seems to be working. Will keep an eye on it ?

EDIT2: On second look, it doesn't work automatically. It downloads but one has to tap install on the app page to actually get it to start installing.

Thanks WhyOrean for a fantastic app.

I have a question: on v3.2.4 I can search for and install some apps, but others such as VLC Media Player and YouTube won't install even when I click "install". This is while spoofing as Nvidia Shield. Why will some apps install and some will not? What's the best workaround? Thank you.

Hi [MENTION=5678465]WhyOrean[/MENTION]s

I am new to Aurora Store, can anyone help with these two questions please:

1. I have purchased FilmicPro via Play Store and installed, but when I see the app through Aurora Store - the 'OPEN' button is grayed out. But this is not the case with other free apps. These apps also show 'update' button in place of 'open' as required. Could this be because it is a paid app and I need to install it again via Auro Store using same Google login? Are App update notification automatic as it happens on 'Play Store' or do I need to visit each app to see if there is an update available?

2. When installing Google Maps or other Google Apps via Aurora Store on Huawei P40 or Mate 30 or anyother google uncertified devices, will I be able to sign into Google Maps using google sign in as usual?

thanks

S
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
Regarding your 1st question: In general, you can't install paid apps via Aurora, but it should be possible to upgrade them. It is better that the Dev answers himself in regards to your specific issue.

In regards to your 2nd question: AuroraStore "only" downloads (and installs) apps from the play store. Devices with stock ROM and Custom ROMs having Gapps flashed have the so-called "Google Play Services" (I call them Google Spy Services, as this describes their main purpose more accurate), which provide specific Google functionality for Ad integration, push mails, misc. tracking and tracking helpers to provide error data and usage statistics to app developers, some gaming APIs and a bunch of comfort functionality for app developers, which could also be done w/o using the spy services.

When you don't have Google's Spy Services on your device, for whatever reason, you should focus on alternative apps, as the original Google stuff of course will most probably refuse to work if those services aren't present. No idea about maps in particular, just try it.

With an app store like F-Droid (or Aurora-Droid), you'll find many FOSS apps being equivalent or partially even better than the G* Originals (e.g. OSMand~ instead of G* Maps, NewPipe instead of G* YouTube etc.) Consult the search engine of your choice to learn more.
[Android Apps and Games] sany:
Hi [MENTION=7929484]MSe1969[/MENTION] thanks for your reply.

The reason for my second question is that - there had been reports that when Google Apps that were installed on 'Google services supported phones' were transfered to the new device that does not support google services worked. But those that requires signing into google servers like Gmail, Google Maps did not allow them to sign in. Therefore Google Maps would just be there without our profile.

This is why I was interested to know whether signing into google will work or not after installing these apps via Aurora Store.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] MSe1969:
I see . . . - As for Maps, all I can say is: try it!

As for GMail - you can configure your GMail account (via Web interface) to support common e-mail standards like IMAP and then use any e-mail app to access your GMail account instead of requiring the GMail app.

G* calls this "less secure", don't let you fool by that (I would tend to call avoiding the GMail app as "less spying", but considering the fact that GMail anyhow automatically scans, reads, classifies and categorizes all your e-mails stored on their servers, I don't know what to say)
[Android Apps and Games] sany:
I agree, gmail for me as of now is not an issue. I will install it in Huawei's mail client or into MS Outlook app. I am interested in the map. Let me wait for [MENTION=5678465]WhyOrean[/MENTION]s to see what he says for both my first (paid apps from google play) and second question (on google sign in).

thanks again

[Android Apps and Games] Ascii3:
There are a some comments I would make:

For "1.", Aurora Store, like Yalp Store did when it worked, actually does allow purchasing apps. There is, however, a limitation in that one cannot use a payment method to pay. Wherefore, one is limited to purchasing Free Apps or Paid Apps at the price of 0.

For "2.", Aurora Store provides device spoofing ability, which I do not believe is provided by Google apps.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Sorry to ask again, but pull and refresh in the update screen doesn't work (since v3.2.0 in my memory). Is it normal or it's specific issue of me ?

Failed To Build Api Error - Last Version Working For Me 3.2.1

Been using Aurora Store since it first came out, but it is not working for me with any version after 3.2.1; details below, and logs with descriptive names attached.

Updating to v3.2.5 from v3.2.1 because of same behavior as below for all versions since 3.2.1 (I've even tried Aurora Store_3.2.5 nightly-202004180001), results in:

Failed to build api

This is taking longer than expected

Clicked "Continue anyway"

Screen with 'Category headers', Search, and hamburger menu (functional), 3 bottom icons, but nothing else

Clicking "Updates" shows "Loading" with spinner and no sign of data traffic, according to my network monitor apps

Using menu "My apps & games" shows my installed apps.

Tried fresh install and got "Failed to login" with Anonymous and Google account.

Tried rebooting, with same results.

Had to revert to my 3.2.1 backup.

[MENTION=5678465]WhyOrean[/MENTION] Thanks for this new build, works flawless & fluent.

Can confirm Automatic installation via Aurora-service is working again, issue fixed. :highfive:

Two small hints:

- Self-update from inside the app doesn't work (it never worked for me) => updates.json is outdated, announces 3.1.3 as latest version

- CHANGELOG is also outdated, missing the history for the repo.

Had similar issue after update from 3.2.0 to 3.2.5. In my case it worked to logout and re-login.

--------------------------------------------

And a general question to anyone:

Is it possible to keep A.Store running in the background, let it check (e.g. daily/weekly) for updates, and get a notification when updates are available (but no auto-install in the background)?

I have manually (over adb) updated to version 3.2.6 from version 3.2.4. I can confirm that version 3.2.6 is working much better and is not exhibiting negative behaviors indicted earlier for version 3.2.5.

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

@WhyOrean - I wish to request a change to how the Aurora Store search is invoked.

Currently on version 3.2.6, an entered query can only be invoked when tapping a magnifying glass symbol on a virtual keyboard that may appear if one is available. Sending the "Enter" input does not result in a search. There also may be search suggestions that might be presented and those may be selected and invoked by tapping on them.

The change I would propose would be to provide another selectable trigger to invoke an entered search. This is especially important to remove the reliance on a virtual keyboard. Real or physical keyboards or input devices from remote sources typically would not have a magnifying glass input to send to invoke the search, and would not be able to invoke the search.

My preference would be to have both a search button to tap that would invoke a search and allow the "Enter" keyboard input to invoke the search. It is my impression that the "Enter" keyboard input is never searchable criteria.
[Android Apps and Games] rho-bot:
Thanks again, In-App-Update to 3.2.6 worked for me now (although there was no popup, had to check manually)

This is strange. I have the following settings shown in attachment.

- #1 is the In-App-Update button for AuroraStore itself, which has to be triggered manually for update check. The way how I installed now 3.2.6, as there was no auto-check or Pop-up...

- #2 was not clear for me, if it belongs to #1 or #3/#4, but thanks for clarification!

- As #2 , #3 and #4 all apply to the App updates, I am wondering why I never got notifications about new updates with these settings? What are the prereqisities to have AuroraStore check for updates in the background?
