Here is the first public alpha for AuroraStore v4. A lot has changed from v3.2.9 which was like 7 months ago.

Google keeps changing the API, so instead of patching every changes. I decided to write a new GPlay API (https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/gplayapi) that is dynamic enough to embrace this regular changes.

Therefore a new client was required to explore this dynamic API.

Here are few things that are new: 1. You can browse streams similar to Play Store, ie For You, Editor's Choice, Early Access. EC & EA is not available on anonymous logins. 2. App Library, so you can track your app install history. 3. App-on-Sale, uses a 3rd party API for index, but app data is fetched from Google's servers 4. A dedicated section for Games 5. A new improved App UI 6. A lot of under the hood improvements. 7. Kotlin

Here are few things that will no longer be available or has changed: 1. Geo-spoof, would provide a companion app to facilitate the same, if required. 2. Favourite app, will add something called similar to WishList, limited to google login only. 3. Anonymous logins now use your device-config to create session, so your device-config is sent to my dispenser server. It may sound scary but it is not, here is a sample (https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/gplayapi/-/blob/master/src/main...) of what I send to my dispenser in order to create a anonymous session.

Whatever else is missing, will be added soon,

Please keep in mind that this is a alpha build and it has many bugs & scope for improvements. Help us improve & support building a friendly FOSS Community.
