Show HN: Android Developer Verification Package blacklisted in Aurora Store
So, I have a Lenovo Idea Tab (11") tablet where I don't use a Google account, and several Google apps are disabled including the Play Store. I use Aurora Store and F-Droid to install and update packages. Only time I enable Play Store is to install an update to Play Services because Aurora Store can't (conflicting packages, meaning the signing key of the Play Services package has changed). I keep it disabled because it ignores the 'Don't Auto-update Packages' setting and updates Google apps packages without permission (and sometimes re-enables them)...
What does show up as an update in Aurora? The Android Developer Verification package. Of course I immediately blacklisted it. Possible avenue to not install it?
Don't know if this will really stop it but it will be an interesting experiment. Will let you know in the near future.
