#aurorastore — Public Fediverse posts

@mattwebbdev

Sorry for challenging the question, but would you consider using #AuroraStore? Search for RFID as well as NFC.

Update: Solution from https://nrw.social/@Uli_aus_Aachen/117250855279688695 worked. Thanks.

Can anyone give me a hint in how to solve a problem with #AuroraStore?

I have two apps "waiting for user confirmation" in the notification. If I tap on these notifications I am taken to the app in the store. The app there is "installing", both "cancel" and "open" are greyed out. I cannot do anything with these apps, they are not getting installed, I can't restart the process, restarts of the store or phone won't help.

I'm clueless. 🤷‍♀️

Got a weird tech question, and I'm not sure which forum to post it to, so I'll put it out into the fediverse ether!

I use #lineageOS on a #Fairphone3 and most of my apps are installed via f-droid. But some are installed via #AuroraStore, when there isn't an fdroid version.

I'm not signed into Google play on this phone.

Most apps just work, but there are 3 which do a weird thing, and are unusable as a result - when they start they just spin out to a Google Play sign on page.

What's going on? And is there anything I can do about it?

The apps are:

@jonathan859 Nice article. I had very similar experience a few months ago. My only difference is that I'm running this on Pixel 9A.

In order to give some more tips on what to explore next I'd say add @IzzyOnDroid repo to your f-droid install from apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/

Then some nice and accessible #opensource apps are:
@AntennaPod
#auroraStore as a google play alternative,
#catima - a privacy respecting app for lojalty cards,
@davx5app - contacts / calendar sync from your own server if you wish to slowly stop using google for that,
#fairEmail - nice very accessible email client,
#makeacopy - for scanning paper documents,
#newpipe - for playing youtube / bandcamp / soundcloud content,
#openKeichain - for signing / encrypting your emails with fairEmail,
#rsaf - for connecting to various cloud storage services including your own smb / ftp / webdav servers,
sms import export,
Speak that! if the talkback notification presentation is not enough,
walkers guide - nice navigation app
Ytdlnis - an yt-dlp frontent.

Perhaps there are more but I have browsed my apps list and recommended what I think is essential.
