Aurora Store also lets you use your own Google account, which is also outside of Google&amp;#x27;s terms.

It&amp;#x27;s not an issue from my perspective but I can see why Google doesn&amp;#x27;t like it.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t have a Google account and am unable to obtain Play Store APKs any other way, so Aurora Store fills an important niche for me.&lt;p&gt;I guess I will hold off on updating any Play Store apps until this is fixed or I can find another software&amp;#x2F;workaround.</text><parent_chain><item><author>CobrastanJorji</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m unfamiliar with what&amp;#x27;s going on here.
