- yoshamano 3y agoYou're not wrong, but that method is way more involved in every way. - You need a PC to run GooglePlay - You need to install Golang on that PC - You need a Google Account - You need to sign into the actual Google Play Store from a real or virtual device using that account - You need to know the Google Play Store package name (com.google.android.youtube) instead of just YouTube - You then have to transfer the APK to your Android device and install it. - You have to manually monitor your collection of apps on your device to see if there are updates and then go through the same process again to get the updated version. With Aurora Store I had to - Install F-Droid from https://f-droid.org/ https://f-droid.org/ - Install Aurora Store from within F-Droid - Open Aurora Store where it logs me in with a random Google Account from their pool of accounts. - Search for whatever app I want to install. - Tap Install. - For updates I tap on the Updates button and then tap Install All.

- yoshamano 3y agoUnless I'm mistaken, there are no binary releases so you have to build it to use it. I mostly wrote up that response because you took the time to post the link three different times in this thread, but there wasn't much elaboration about what was involved or why GooglePlay should be considered an alternative to Aurora Store.
