Aurora Store 4 v4.0 [Alpha] [Update 20210206]
Requirements: 5.0+
Overview: The ability to download and install programs from the PlayStore without depending on the Play Market application and google services. Is fork of the program Yalp Store in the style of material design 2.0 and some additional features.

YalpStore is a very well coded app, but it lacks Material Design, Sergey Yeriomin has clearly mentioned
he will not redo UI/UX changes as his intention is to support devices from Android 2.x to 8.x which is perfectly fine.
Adding up new Material UI Libraries will increase the app size, which would defeat its purpose in context of older devices.

Also in an attempt to have wider device support the YalpStore uses some depreciated Android Libraries/Methods which have
(minor) Security/MemoryLeak issues.

Some of us try to avoid GooglePlayServices as much as possible, because of the MemoryUsage/StorageSpace/Privacy/UnwantedUpdates.
But not all of us use Devices with Lower RAM and InternalMemory, so I thought of redesigning YalpStore

I renamed the YalpStore to Aurora to avoid any ambiguity that may arise.

In Aurora I will try my best to solve this issues, and provided a clean material design.

What's New:
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 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 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.

App can detect some of the apps that can update, downloads them (albeit with persistent notifications)

But more importantly it`s stuck on installing any app, forever! unusable at its current state.

Tried on Samsung S10 Android 11, Oppo A52 same problem

Apps works, finds updates (beta as last ones), login as real and anon user.
What is lost is system dialog to choose app to use to install APKs - no more Aurora store, just Playstore and AppGallery.
