Hi, all!

Aurora has mainly been rendered useless to me, since they started banning/ratelimiting a lot of the accounts in use on that platform.

I mainly stick to FOSS apps, but for instances where that isnt feasible, it was nice to be able to fall back on aurora store.

Any suggestions?

    Google bans new acounts that never used in official playstore before

    Use a spare gmail acount that you have also used with playstore

    Anonymus logins also get rate limits or get banned

    As for alternative

    App lounge from /e/ OS uses auroraOSS Gstore api to download from playstore so it’s basically like using aurora

    Other than that the are Python scripts you could use on termux but those also need a proper gmail account

    Same apply to linux/windows programs available

    I always used my “normal” google account in Aurora also been using this account with microg since ages Never had an issue I don’t care if the account gets banned though.

    Maybe appkmirror is the only other “sane” option.
