I searched for element and it displayed results. Do other android apps have internet access?
can you show app details from the main screen? Thus install apps without searching?
It migh also be a problem caused by google…

Yes (x3)
It’s a problem with the APP.
I have the same problem, and it was already submitted to the developer to be fixed:

This happened to me. I solved it by logging out and then in again.

Thanks for the trick.
It took me some time to find the right way into SFOS, as I’m not very used to using Android App Support.
Here are all steps for potential other Android App Support Beginners:
- Open SFOS settings
- Scroll down to Android App Support, open
- Click 5x on Android Version number. This will open Android settings.
- Into Android Settings, click on Apps and notifications
- Click on Default apps
- Click on Opening links
- Click on Aurora Store
- Click on Open supported links, verify that Allow selected
Install an android browser, e.g. Firefox (better suggestions?)
- Open the browser and go to the page of your choice where Play store (and probably Apple store) are present.
-
Long click on the Plat store icon, until the contextual menu arrives and select "Open link in external app"
This will open Aurora and you will be able to install your app.
However, correct me please if I’m wrong, the apps that will be installed this way are less “depolluted” from undesired functions than the ones in F-droid or Aurora. Isn’t it?

just to add to the mentioned workarounds:
I didn’t have to bother with android settings. But I had to open Autora Store first, then keeping it open in background open Firefox. (Form here on like already said…) On the page that links to goople play store long press the link and choose “open in external app”, select Aurora store…

I had some similar issue. I did a reset of the aurora app data (Sailfish Settings → Tab “Apps” → Aurora Store → Clean Cache or delete Data). Clean Cache or delete data brought it back to operation.

Unfortunately none of the above methods work for me.
I set aurora to open play.google.com, “Open supported links” is set to “Allow app to open supported links”.
I also tried to open Aurora via clicking on an app download link within Firefox.
When I enter a word in Aurora’s search and press enter, I get the message “Oops, This account is rate limited!” Actually I uses Anonymous login.

I would say this is not a problem of Aurora, but the anonymous account. Too many people are using it.

For me the latest release/nightly buikd from the developer page works.
Now, the search promp invokes an android browser (im my case firefox), from which you can select the app and which would lead you back to the aurora app which then installs the selected app.

Hi, I still can’t install new apps in Aurora.
I updated the F-Droid store, then updated Aurora to 4.2.2 (one week old).
I tried to clear cache and data; and restart the phone.
Nothing changed.
What could I do now?

I gave up with the anonymous accounts, and just signed in with my account. What can go wrong?

Getting banned for ToS violation, losing access to the related gmail account?

I agree. And if that ever happens to anyone, one could just use another account. And so on.
