Aurora Store borked

Hello. Having an issue with Aurora Store not working on my FP4 anymore for some time now. A few months ago AS had this issue where it got updated and did not have a private session login anymore. I deleted it and used a downloaded apk to downgrade to the previous version, that fixed the issue.

Since then it’s been acting weird. The custom AS version gets deleted by the system upon phone restart. If I try to get the “official” version through “preinstalled apps” in the settings it doesn’t appear in the app launcher and I can’t launch it, though I can see it in “see all apps” settings page.

Then I try to delete it through default apps and reinstall it through F-droid. 90% of the time it refuses to do that. 10% of the time I somehow manage to install it. The app shows a network error upon trying to connect through anonymous session, then gets deleted anyway upon phone restart.

Needless to say, I’m quite tired with this nonsense. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I’m running Iode 5.4 right now, though the problem started at least a few updates back.

Still no input from developers in 3 weeks?

You may have invited updates of conflicting app versions.

I just ran into a similar issue a week ago, and was able to fix it by removing updates via Aurora’s App Info screen (as reachable e.g. Settings|Apps|All Apps|Aurora):

With the conflicting updates removed, depending on where you were stuck, you may have to restart and/or re-enable Aurora via Iode’s pre-installed apps screens.
