Long-backgrounded sessions (especially on aggressive vendors like Huawei) could leave the Play token invalid and OkHttp's connection pool full of dead sockets, producing a perpetual loading spinner with no error. - ComposeActivity#onStart probes the saved token via isSavedAuthDataValid; on failure evicts the OkHttp pool and refreshes anonymous auth. - AuthProvider gains authReady StateFlow, awaitReady(), and a mutex-guarded refreshAnonymousAuth() so concurrent callers don't double-fetch. - Play-backed ViewModels (AppDetails, DevProfile, MoreApps, Reviews, Search, ExpandedStreamBrowse, Category) await refresh completion before issuing helper calls, closing the race between resume-time refresh and screen LaunchedEffect fetches. - AppDetailsScreen rendered Error as Loading when app was null; reorder so Error wins and wire a Retry button through Placeholder. - Stream/Review/Search/DevProfile/CategoryBrowse error placeholders gain Retry actions wired to PagingItems.retry() or the VM's fetch. - CategoryViewModel was logging-only on failure; now emits ViewState.Error with a matching Retry path in CategoriesPage.
Aurora Store
Aurora Store enables you to search and download apps from the official Google Play store. You can check app descriptions, screenshots, updates, reviews, and download the APK directly from Google Play to your device.
To use Aurora Store, log in using Google Play account, when you first open and configure Aurora Store.
Unlike a traditional app store, Aurora Store does not own, license or distribute any apps. All apps, app descriptions, screenshots and other content in Aurora Store are directly accessed, downloaded and/or displayed from Google Play.
Aurora Store works exactly like a door or a browser, allowing you to log in to your Google Play account and find the apps from Google Play.
Please note that Aurora Store does not have any approval, sponsorship or authorization from Google, Google Play, any apps downloaded through Aurora Store or any app developers; neither does Aurora Store have any affiliation, cooperation or connection with them.
