Hi, Today I tried to install an app from the Aurora store. It's been downloaded, but then Aurora is trying to sync metadata all the time and nothing happens anymore. Is this a known problem or is it just me doing something wrong? I've got a Pixel 6a and as far as I know, I've got all updates. All these are compatible with the sandboxed Play Store. The dependency on these features by Play Store apps is steadily increasing. Please note: The "Apps app repo client " tag is for when the GrapheneOS App repository is being discussed hence the tag's title.
I was just letting you know. Same problem, but only with two apps so far e. Pixel7a, GrapheneOS Release I just downgraded to version i was using before update. It's clearly just us. Nobody else has had this problem. For me it went away with an Aurora update.
Don't know if I've just been lucky. I am not so sure about this. They keep asking for a phone number and there a countries where buying sim cards anonymously is hardly possible or even illegal.
Thank you very much for your reaction. It's very enlightening. If I were to change my "appstore" from Aurora to sandboxed-and-new-profiled-Google-playstore, I guess that I'll have to uninstall my Aurora apps first?! However, you'll need to activate unattended updates for the Sandboxed Play Store to become the designated installer. This requires triggering a one-time manual update through the Play Store afterwards.
According to their changelog there latest version should solve the issue? My colleague pointed this out. DeletedUser59 I have heard that some people have had success, without requiring a phone number, by turning off VPN but using public wifi so they don't expose their home IP to Google.
