    Doesn’t sound like it’s specific to grapheneos. It’s probably on any android.

    Don’t be afraid to use grapheneos. Grapheneos works perfectly fine. It’s a normal android just with more control over your phone.

      Yeah, the person who opened the case uses CalyxOS. I’m getting the issue on a manufacturer build, OxygenOS **updating is fine but installing a new app is not

      The article didn’t even mention graphene. The user has a fairphone. It’s also only impacting anon users it seems. So just like its working for you it does on graphene too. It does not work for anyone if they are using an anon account (according to the link). Not even sure why they said graphene.

          It’s just what the article said. I do not use Google play services or its alternative implementations. There is nothing blocking graphene anymore than any other ROM on this specific issue. If anything graphene is one or the only roms that has an option to use the sandbox Google play.

          tl;dr my original response was made for one reason, to respond to your statement with what the article said and some flavor text around that. The title to this thread was not only misleading, but a full on red herring. The OP the article did not even say graphene once.

      The issue isn’t installing the Aurora Store, it’s using it after install.

      Aurora Store allows (allowed?) people to download apps from the Play Store without logging in - frankly I’m shocked it lasted this long to begin with. It gives full access to the Play Store library (you still have to log in for paid apps), but it serves a very different service from Obtanium, F-Droid and the rest

    Oh it’s not a me problem this time? I thought my firewall was somehow blocking it but I just did a download both with and without a VPN on, so I guess it is Google banning shit like usual…
