It clearly works with some system level service that does the actual hard work for installing and downloading stuff. Which seems to work Ok.
The app, however, is flaky in the extreme.
The last months I’ve been seeing certain apps getting stuck in the “installing” phase for days. Even after a reboot.
So, it was suggested to clear the app-data, that seemed to resolve the issue.
In the last week I’ve been consistently getting the issue that the anonymous login doesn’t work. I checked, the domain loads just fine in a browser on the same phone.
So, again, remove the data-cache and voila, I had 15 apps to upgrade…
Weirdest part is that if I tap on “OPEN SETTINGS”, it just gives me another empty screen.
Are the devs aware of these issues? Can we expect this to be fixed soon? Its been a year or so since I got this phone and the App-lounge never really worked. Though the issues we see seem to be very different every release.
Looking for a post about App Lounge since I experienced problems myself, and here it is! It was working very well before 1.10 and now struggles to access the anonymous account apparently.
‘GPlay home loading error’
The problem came up already in 1.9. I do not much in Aurora and nearly nothing in App Lounge except some searches. I think I never had any success in the three weeks of 1.9 (after 1.8.1).
I seem to have done it twice quite recently … when reported “anonymous login failed”; I logout, Settings button, bottom left of screen; I then get to log in as a “new” anonymous.
I also avoid using App Lounge at all if the “introductory” screen takes more than a few seconds to load.
Yes same thing happened for me. The only weird thing remaining is that App Lounge doesn’t show the same apps available for updates than Aurora. Even after cleaning the cache.
Same here. I am using a FP4 with e/OS 1.10. Since 1.9 I have issues with the App Lounge. After clearing cache, it starts one times. For every second start, it is necessary to clear cache again. Very strange.
I think this came with the recent Aurora update 4.2.1 from Apr. 17, 2023. The problem here is to distinguish between the latest /e/ update and the latest app update which were nearly at the same time.
Would be interesting to know if Aurora 4.2.1 works somewhere else correctly, including search and all that.
Yeah, updated the new Aurora Store 4.2.2 from F-Droid now.
Crashed at first start, had to clear the cache, cleared also once for all the entire app memory. Then it did start and showed also a cleaned up GUI. I can see a lot of apps there, also in categories, got some updates, added some to the lock list, but Search (which didn’t succeed before at all) says now “Oops, This account is rate limited” (related to my anonymous account), whatever this means.
