Aurora Store 3.1.5 not showing all apps installe? And how to update all apps at once?

At first, thank you very much for the Aurora Store app! Having been a long time YALP user (and having been quite happy with it), the anonymous logins don't work there any more, so I have decided to switch to Aurora Store. I first had some problems with the anonymous logins as well, but finally 3.1.5 stable worked as intended (3.1.5 nightly didn't).

So it generally works, but I have two questions:

1) Please bear with me (I am not very experienced in this field) if my question is silly, but Aurora does not seem to detect / list all installed apps.

In my case, Aurora Store shows 10 apps if I have enabled "Show user apps only" and 16 apps if I have it disabled.

YALP (which still works, except the anonymous login) shows 13 apps if I disable displaying system apps, and shows over 100 apps if I enable displaying system apps.

Could anybody explain in simple words what the reason for that big difference is?

2) Is it possible to update all apps at once in Aurora Store?

The first question is much more important to me than the second one :) I wouldn't have a real problem with updating my apps one by one.

Thank you very much in advance!

Good morning,

A possible future improvement.

In the list of opinions of each app, it would be nice to be able to filter them as in the Play Store (most recent, most relevant, main positive opinion and main negative opinion, etc.).

No login-issues with latest fdroid-aurora-build.

Thank you for your amazing work!

Aurora is back on track. :D

Yes really great work. No issues at all with the latest Release.

The Aurora Store app automatically ends the session when I sign in through Google
[Android Apps and Games] WhyOrean:
Thats because the credentials are not save on device, you login via a webview and only the token is stored.

Will try to improve it in upcoming builds.

1. That's because Aurora shows only those apps which are available on Play Store, whereas Yalp Store show all apps whether they are present on Play tore or not.

Why ? Because there no point in managing apps via Aurora which are not available on PlayStore.

2. 'Update All' button can be used for the same, it works fine as expected.

Hey,

just cross read the last posts here and assume that the issue with anonymous logins should be fixed now.... however I still cannot login with anonymous accounts (personal account works, but actually I dont want do use the, just used it this time as I had no other option).

Any idea, why anonymous login still fails here? (latest version from F-Droid)
[Android Apps and Games] GΔM€Rβ0Y:
Latest version is 3.1.5 on fdroid. If u r unable to see newer version on fdroid do clean install. Uninstall current aurora version & then refresh fdroid repo & download new 3.1.5.

& regarding anonymous login, in newer version everything is fixed, please check if any firewall or host filtering apps blocking Aurora internet access.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroZeek:
I am unable to install Call of Duty after updating my phone to Android 10. Tried latest version still no luck. After 300+ mb every time its getting queued. Its working fine on Android 9.
[Android Apps and Games] GΔM€Rβ0Y:
To get aurora working on Android 10 change the download directory of aurora to /storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.aurora.store/

If your device is rooted use Root installation method.

If game got downloaded & u got resources missing error then find .gzip data file manually in aurora download directory or in android/obb/________ COD folder & unzip that .gzip file, rename it and add .obb in end of that file. Now move that renamed file to android/obb/_______ COD folder.

______ means obb data folder of that game created by game in android/obb directory. i forget its actual name.
[Android Apps and Games] Oi69qEZ:
Im having an issue with downloading or updating apps, it stays queued until it fails. For example i tried downloading Facebook lite (~7 MB) but no luck. Im running LOS 16+Afwall (i whitelisted aurora) and latest magisk module. I also tried reinstalling aurora, but same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] GΔM€Rβ0Y:
If your device android version is 10 then change the download directory of aurora to /storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.aurora.store/

Then retry installation with ROOT installation method.

Also please confirm that u are using latest 3.1.5 version.
[Android Apps and Games] Oi69qEZ:
I forgot to mention that my phone is Huawei gr5 (honor 5x) running android 9 not 10 and using Aurora 3.1.5 with anonymous option.

I tried root method 1st time didn't work i forgot to switch download path to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.aurora.store

Now its working fine, if selected ROOT installation you need to switch download path to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.aurora.store (is this new in 3.1.5 ?)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Same thing here. That's what I came here to report. Forced me to use Goggle Play to update.

Running stock android pie on Moto G7.
[Android Apps and Games] Oi69qEZ:
You're using root installation method or native? If root then you need to change download directory to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.aurora.store
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I'm using native installation even though the phone is rooted.

The app updates have become undependable. One or two updates work and then the others 'hang' and never finish.

It's probably Google sabotaging things again.

The updates download and install in a flash from Google Play.

[Android Apps and Games] TShadow:
Confirm that only anonymous login works, but I always get "session expired" and Aurora won't find any updates or apps at all. I've to clear data and cache to make it work again. Using it on Firestick 2nd gen, no root, but the same happens on my phone with Oreo 8.1, also not rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] milance01:
You don't have to clear cache and data, just force stop it and start again and your session will be active again. That way your settings stays on
[Android Apps and Games] WhyOrean:
#Notification

Primary server is down, due to issues on vendor side, you may experience problem logging in with anonymous accounts.

However secondary server is up, so ultimately you will get logged in what so ever.

You can also enforce to select only secondary server from Settings->Network->Custom Tokenizer.

[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
Same here. Looks better, performs better—the Anonymous Login is now happening upon opening app. Before I had to manually select 'login' each time.
[Android Apps and Games] FlamingGoat:
Latest version worked once for me, but now just sits spinning a wheel saying no network connection. Wiping data and cache and reinstalling makes no difference.
[Android Apps and Games] Andhika24kd:
The search function is working fine for me even on 3.1.5 but compared to Play Store it will give you fewer search results. It is quite annoying since sometimes I need to type for specific (full) app name instead of general (partial) app name.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Issue & Suggestions

Sometimes when my anonymous account says it expired, I notice the "Apps" section no longer shows my installed apps. So I close the app and restart it. Then it shows up and I can search.

So this leads me to my first suggestion. When I do a search, I would like the app to either tell me there are no search results or not logged or expired session would be helpful. This is because some searches might not return any search results if not logged in.

Also, would like the search filter to sort by size of the app and if possible, sort out apps with trackers found.

Thanks for this great replacement to using the Google Play store app.

I know what the apk file is for. But what about the two other versions (for magisk)?
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Installed the latest version from Jan 5 on a oneplus 7 pro running Android 10. Attempted to use the anonymous login and got back an error that says "failed to login".

*update*

After multiple attempts within a 10 minute time frame it finally logged into an anonymous account. Now it just sits on that Accounts page..no option to do anything and if I hit the arrow at top of page to back out of accounts the program closes.

Aurora Exodus Report Not Available On Most Apps

Installed the latest update from here since F-Droid doesn't have it up yet. Very nice updated app but I prefer the check marks over the circle with the dot in the middle for the filters. I noticed that the Aurora Exodus tracking report on most, if not all apps, are not available now.
[Android Apps and Games] WhyOrean:
Well that shouldn't be the case, any way try a clean install maybe.

Also you have any sort of network filters make you haven't blocked Cloudflare. As all the dispenser are behind cloudflare.

Exodus has depreciated the report query method that I use, will have to migrate on new method.

Will fix it soon.

Aurora Store v3.1.7 Report

Thank you [MENTION=5678465]WhyOrean[/MENTION] for the continuous development of Aurora Store & being active in this thread. :good::cool:

I had a similar experience as [MENTION=320962]famewolf[/MENTION] but without the anonymous login problem with Aurora Store v3.1.7 on Galaxy S5 G900M official LineageOS 16.0 klte build 2020-01-03 + Open GApps Pico + LineageOS AddonSU for root, no custom kernel or system mod of any kind & using AdAway to block ads system wide with only the StevenBlack hosts list and searching that list I don't see any blocked Cloudflare URLs.

Cleared storage of previous Aurora Store v3.1.5, uninstalled it & rebooted.

Installed AuroraStore_3.1.7.apk. When starting Aurora Store as seen in the attachment the Accounts panel appeared showing already logged in with the Anonymous account.

Hitting the top left arrow the app closed.

Removed the app from Recent & opened it again. Same results.

Did it again a third time but used my device's Back button, same result.

Opened Aurora Store a 4th. time, logged out, logged back in Anonymous successfully but tapping the left arrow crashed the app again.

Removed the app from Recent & opened it again but this time success & it opened in the store panel requesting some permissions as seen in the second screenshot.

Captured a logcat using Syslog & attached it to this post.

BTW "latest" or "most recent" will not mean a thing for future readers after the next update so taking 2-3 seconds to type the exact Aurora Store version that you are talking about is good practice IMO & makes the life of the dev a tad easier.

Thanks In Advance & Favorite Apps Section

Thank you in advance for fixing the tracker issue. I hope you can find a different method.

I have a question about the Favorite Apps section. Not sure what this is for. I added an installed app and not installed app to the list but the export button doesn't seem to do anything. Plus the install section is greyed out. I was wanting to originally say that when I add an app to the list and click on the added app, all it does is checkmark the app as opposed to going to the app page where I can download it or etc. So essentially, I just use it as a bookmark or wishlist of apps now. But in order to delete the favorite apps, I need to search for it again and make sure the heart is not highlighted.
[Android Apps and Games] PeterMarkoff:
would it be possible to add filter or sort results by size or last update so I can see only apps under certain size and/or only updated in last week/month/year etc?

Not getting complete results.

I have an x88 king android device.

I already have the google apps installed on my android device and they do not present me with all the apps

that they should because my device is not google certified.

So I have installed Aurora playstore to see if I could fix this issue.

(I can not install Magisk since its incompatible with my device at the moment.)

I began the app by using the spoof function to switch to a Samsung device since my device is unrecognized.

I logged in with the app as anonymous and did a search for one of my favorite games "hearthstone" .

Basically it gives me the same results as if I was logged in with my normal google id.

Hearthstone is not listed.

If I do the same search on my smartphone its available.

What did I miss?

Should I disable google playstore?

Should I remove my google account from the x88 king device? (Tried this did not change results.)

How do I know that Aurora is passing the spoofed info (not my original info) over to google to get a full index of apps?
[Android Apps and Games] Wishmasterflo:
I guess when you login to Aurora Store with the anonymous account login you get logged in with different random anonymous accounts from different regions/countries and based on that you will find apps from different countries.
[Android Apps and Games] gr33nst:
The problem with that is if you change the location you need a proxy near the location so it works properly according to the app.

Most people are more interested in changing their device info so that google app store will allow them to see / install apps that they block due to not being certified. It shows many more apps than the google playstore but it still does not show everything. I have gone through multiple spoofs even with the crashes and the lockup the concept is great and would love to see it work.
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
Kinda on-topic, but maybe unanswerable? What spoofed device should show the most compatible apps? I ask because my very modern and capable Galaxy S6 shows "incompatible" with a lot of apps that should, and do, work on my device. I've pretty much given up on actually searching in Play Store app because of this, and because the Play Store simply lists apps that Ggle has decided they want you to see. Many times I've typed in the *exact* name of some obscure app, only to have to show up (if at all) well below totally unrelated apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Keule-Tm:
I would think a current Pixel device would do. Never tried myself, tho.

Edit: SGS6 very modern? That device should be some 4 years old, isn't it?

I want to report a bug.

Android: 7.1.2 (LineageOS 14.1)

Aurora Store: 3.1.7 and 3.1.8

Description:

Fresh install. The app shows a screen with the logo, a spinning circle and the text "No network connection" with no way to go further.

Annoying workaround:

1) Turn off device connectivity (Wi-Fi, etc.)

2) Turn on device connectivity

3) Aurora says "All set to go" and starts

It seems to be caused by the Android connectivity "events" not correctly handled. Last working version is 3.1.5

Thank you.

[Android Apps and Games] GΔM€Rβ0Y:
Search Results are inconsistent due to Google recommendations Ads. To download Shareit Lite, first open the official share it app page inside Aurora store then hit on Blue colored "SHAREit Technologies Co.LTD" that is just placed under app name. Now u see all apps from Shareit & also your Lite version is in List. Hit download & Enjoy. Also use the latest 3.1.8 version of Aurora Store.
[Android Apps and Games] teekar.2023:
There should be an option to hide apps from the some sections of Aurora store.

It would be nice to see similar apps just like APKPure.com (plus the app) does and/or maybe also include the Google similar app suggestions. For searching apps I also use appfilter.net site too.

Please add the F-Droid "Editor" app by Bill Farmer to the included installed user app list.
[Android Apps and Games] Andhika24kd:
I'm not sure (since I don't own any F-Droid app) but I think it's related to Aurora F-Droid filter.

You will need to disable the filter, but even if you do, you will not be able to update it via Aurora since the F-Droid version has a different signature than the Play Store version.

I actually want to make a feature request about it, is it possible to compare local app signature with the "real" one from Play Store version? I'm using MicroG and Aurora always think that it is Play Service.

I know blacklist feature exist but I think it's cleaner if it can be detected automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Good suggestion. My request was for the developer. But I am sure the developer gets a lot of requests.

Hoping maybe someday the F-Droid apps can be updated seamlessly via this app; even the simple calendar pro one that costs money on Google play but not on F-Droid. But I understand this is just really an alternative to Google play store.

I have saved all my downloaded and installed apk files to the sdcard. How can i install them after flashing a new rom on the same device without downloading all apps new?
[Android Apps and Games] Keule-Tm:
Quite unusual backup procedure ?

You would need a file explorer (any will do) and then you would tap on every APK to install it (and no, multiselection won't work).

Next time I would use a proper backup app if I were you (e.g. Titanium Backup, if you got root).
[Android Apps and Games] Andhika24kd:
This may not work for split APKs, unless the file explorer itself supported it. For installing split APKs, use "Split APKs Installer" (or maybe Aurora will do it if you put the files in the right directory?).
