Bit frustrating. Not every app, but a few I’d really like don’t work because of this issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Could you have “Play Protect” enabled? That might be the trigger here. I shut mine off because it’s stupid.
Not sure where this setting is. How can I disable it?
I believe on my device it’s on Settings, under Security. But it may be different for you. Here is a general article that may or may not help. https://www.esper.io/blog/how-to-disable-google-play-protect-on-your-android-device-and-why-you-might-want-to
This is most likely the apps themselves checking if they were installed from the play store. Looks like you should complain at Hank Green about this kind of shitty behaviour.
Apps that require Google play services will be clearly marked in red on the app page.
Are you sure it’s aurora’s fault? What install method do you use in Aurora? Do you have gms (Google Play Services)? Do you use MicroG or other spoofing methods? What rom do you have? Can you give us an example app where this happens, so we can try to reproduce? Have you reported the issue somewhere upstream?
I’m guessing the "Focus Friend’ mentioned in the screenshot is one you can check on.
I doubt this is an Aurora store issue. Probably Google being shitty again, or possibly the OEM.
