I have problems with both aurora and appstore today. They do not install or update. I deleted cache and memory but the problem remains. While appstore stays fixed on 0% aurora almost immediately tells me:

If I use a google account everything goes smooth (but it is not a solution)

Question? Is google making it difficult or impossible to install apps without google accounts?

Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online services

Can confirm, and with a quick search other places in the internet can confirm this, too, when using Anonymous mode.
Very occasionally installing may still work in Aurora Store (have seen it myself), but more often than not it’s just the server occupied error message now.

There have been phases in the past when Google changed something on their side and Aurora Store needed to adapt to restore functionality. Perhaps we are in another such phase, and App Lounge is affected now, too, as it works the same way in principle.

Hi @jhansen63 ,

In the Device Selector there is no more a community build:

but in official /e/OS official FP3 download
there is an up to date-build.
Could the community-build cause the error?

4.2-a15-20260816663281-community-FP3 running fine here but Aurora store responding

Exactly same on Moto on Lineage a15.

The (random choice) test app Tidal Music was installed OK by App Lounge.

Yes. A while ago Murena intentionally removed community from all documentation for devices which have official builds, but for now Murena continue to build community builds, OTA updates within the same Android version still work, and getting the download links for community isn’t hard in case of need.

No.
I switched to official yesterday with a new install, and that’s when I noticed the issue trying to reinstall the Apps I let Aurora Store install and manage before.

I had the APKs exported beforehand (apparently for reasons), so no big deal for now for me, I just hope this gets sorted out somehow.

Thanks for clarifying that!

I’m using App Lounge and F-Droid and Droid-ify.I wasn’t aware of failing app-updates during the recent past.

Okay, good for you having experience in switching from community to official.

thanks for reminding me to change to the official channel. yesterday i did it, but the problems with installing from Appstore ora aurora remained. During the install to have the most important apps i temporarily used the Google of my wife.
