I guess there is no need to introduce what a Degoogled phone is (or a custom ROM without google services, like GrapheneOS is) and the Aurora Store is basically said in a crude way the Google Playstore but without the need to log in to your Google account, quite useful in my opinion.
At first, what really concerns me is to run the risk of violating Google’s TOS by logging in with my Google account on the Aurora Store to access my purchased apps, but at the same time I think, since Android is Google’s operating system, can’t they also retaliate against people using a modified version of their OS? And I know that sounds especially stupid when your phone is your phone and not Google’s, but we all know how companies like Google work.
I don’t use Google services on my device, but I do use it as a secondary email that I don’t want to lose, hence the question, I know I can create another email but I don’t want to have so many email accounts.
The question is not what Google does now but what it will do in 1month, 1quarter, 1year.
It has been years that more and more petty measures have been taken.
FWIW I would make a spare account
I sincerely consider that it would be permanent and without notice, because again, that’s Google and that’s how companies like Google work.
I will definitely get a spare account, thanks.
I’m running GrapheneOS and if Google locks me out of my device, which I bought from them, they’re going to buy me a new apartment :P
Jokes aside, anyone running grapheneOS that gets their Google account banned should DM me. That’s solid grounds for a lawsuit.
I have been using my google account with Aurora store for couple of years now. I also use degoogled phone (lineageos) with no problem
do with this information what u wish

I guess this is the way, I really don’t want to lose my secondary account. Thanks.
This requires a permanent phone number and it has to be different or else they’re gonna know it’s you
Google has made AOSP for years and never banned anyone for using it. They encourage you to tinker with the OS.
Like other comments suggested, don’t take the risk, create a separate account.

Apparently people said that the Aurora Store accounts had been deleted so use an alt if possible

just backup your account
Hopefully (fuck Google )
Believe me, I also say Fuck Google, and I don’t want to get into it but there are certain apps that I download from unofficial sources (🏴☠️) and I really like them and consider that they deserve my money, and the only way I have is to pay for them in the Google Playstore.
