I need to get payrange laundry app for laundry at my college, but I’m running a degoogled phone, and it doesn’t pop up in aurora store

    Did you ask your college about an alternative way to pay for laundry without the app? In my experience so far, universities are fairly accommodating if it’s a service they run.

    Tip: Don’t get too technical with your explanation about why it doesn’t work. Something simple like: “It’s incompatible and won’t run in your phone despite your best efforts to make it do so,” should be good enough.

      you feel like it would be better to run it in a sandbox work profile with google services

      I tried looking it and wasn’t able to find it. I ran into the same issue also this is my first time on Lemmy

        Searching I couldn’t either. But setting the default app to open with play store links to Aurora found it and let me install it

    Security risk ahead. Try looking for the apk and install it manually

      Can you download the app on a nondegoogled phone through play and take the apk from that phone? Does it work that way?

        As long as the app doesn’t require google play services then yep. I use apk extractor by meher on the play store. I’ve used it to transfer a few apps I paid for to a non-connected device and it worked.

    Try hitting share on the browser and then choose Aurora store under action. Pops up for me.

    Noted, I’m on android 14.
