There is a workaround for the rate limiting:
Open the app settings for Aurora Store, go to the Open by default settings and add the supported links.
(If Google Play is on your phone you may need to go remove the supported links in its settings)
Use your browsers to search play.google.com for the app you want. From the app page use the Share to app function and it should open it in Aurora Store.
This is what I do sometimes. But, for the past 3 weeks Aurora Store has been behaving...
Still doesn't work for app updates. I can't even connect to Aurora most of the time. Maybe it is a ProtonVPN issue.
I've never had issues with APKPure as far as safety goes. That and APKMirror are my main places to get apk files
Use apkmirror
I had to just make a new burner google account for Aurora. The rate limiting on the anonymous account seems to always be hit when I try to use it.
I used both and they're safe enough
Never heard anything bad about it so should be safe although I prefer to uso apk mirror because of its reputation
I've used both and didn't have any problems
Wow doesnt say anything. They inject adware in their APKs, at least did once with an app
BTW, if using only apkmirror and apkpure as sources for apks, I'd recommend apkgrabber instead of their own binary apps
NO.
they plant ads in their apks. Dont use it for network enabled apps (if you have a safe firewall or network permission)
If you can't get a packaged apk directly from the developer/publisher, or from a trusted repository like the play store or fdroid, I wouldn't resort to third party sources like these. If you can't compare the signing signature of an apk from an untrusted source to that from a trusted source, you can't be certain that what you're installing hasn't been tampered with.
