Is there hope that the Aurora store will install the updates again sometime automatically?

I haven’t taken the time to look that their issue tracker, but that would be the place to check in on the state of this issue. I don’t think the issue is specific to iodéOS?
It is, kind of at least…
iodé spoofs all apps that were installed using Aurora Store as if they were installed by com.android.vending, AKA microG Companion, AKA the Play Store. This seems to break unattended updates, that’s why you need to confirm updates usually, but not in F-Droid.
Calyx has a similar patch but slightly better, it doesn’t break unattended updates, but it does break them in the background for some reason, and it isn’t very consistent.
This stuff works fine in pure LineageOS, for context.
See Unattended updates do not work on Aurora Store (#2979) · Issues · CalyxOS / calyxos · GitLab, https://review.calyxos.org/c/CalyxOS/platform_frameworks_base/+/37140, Only spoof packages installed by Aurora Store and modify new API (c5937332) · Commits · os / public / lineage / frameworks_base · GitLab
Note: the reason why this would break, is that if the update owner app is the same, and Aurora sets itself as this when you install/update(?), it would be allowed to do unattended updates, that were introduced in A13, but since Aurora and even the system seem to think stuff was installed from the Play Store, that’s not allowed

There’s a patch in the beta channel that replaces iodé’s spoofing patch for Calyx’s. It seems to solve the issue. It should be available soon I guess.
