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?

Have you tried an Aurora Nightlies Build? Do you use the anonymous account?

Where are the nightly builds? I will stay anonymous.

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.

I created a disposable account just for that purpose, so no problem if it gets banned.

Thanks, I just want to do the same steps. I installed aurora nightly, firefox via apk. If I open the desired new app via ‘Mit app öffnen’, it doesn’t install it. See pictures.

You may have to configure the android store properly.

Hi Inte, thanks lot for your pictures. I had the correct configurations, it took me some time to discover, where to tap long to get the right menu!
For the others like me, here two pictures.

I really hope, that installing android apps (anonymous) over Aurora will get easier again, esp. for newbies (for many people this is important)!

I’m glad I could help. App search will probably never get as easy as it was again for anonymous accounts, since google appears to limit search queries per account.
I personally don’t mind the new search, though.

Small disadvantage: opening links in other apps, now I’m always asked, if I want to use Browser or Firefox ;-).

I don’t have an advanced option.

I don’t have a ‘open in external app’ option either.

#39

ahh you have to do this trick now to search for apps.
That’s fine, but what if you log in with a google account?

Everything works as expected for me.

Hi, in the last week had several times the following problems with 4.2.2:

  • open Aurora store → I can read for 1/2 second: “Requesting a new session”, then it disappears
  • the store does not open after a long time

No improvement by: restarting Androidapp-Support, WIFI nor deleting cache from Aurorastore
By luck the following day it works again.
