    That’s one option, but at times, one has to play around with aurora’s custom tokenizer, and at times aurora can’t connect at all to the play store, given some limits reached identified by Google, or because of changes introduced by Google.

    I use instead apkgrabber, which will allow you to visit apkmirror, apkpure, or even the play store if the app doesn’t lie, web pages for the particular app and version to upgrade, and the I have to download and install the apks manually. I only use apkmirror to inspect for packets though. I’d love to find a hybrid between aurora and apkgrabber, so the manual download and install gets automated, or at least the download, :) But I’ve found that process easy enough as an alternative to using aurora.

      You are right, very annoying when it can’t connect and sometimes happens. I didn’t know about APKGrabber, thanks for the recommendation.
