About 25% of my apps are from F-Droid. The rest are from Play Store. I want to use Aurora Store to install apps rather than Play Store.
I have installed Aurora Store. Do I simply remove Play Store from GrapheneOS and it will remove all the Play Store apps at once or do I need to first remove them one by one, then remove Play Store, then install each one via Aurora Store?
Be aware that just a few days ago Aurora Store’s anonymous login function suffered a big outage due to Google throttling the “fake” accounts it uses. It’s been working again since a few days, but it’s clear that Google doesn’t love it.
EDIT: as pointed out by @mranderson17 the issue was different. Check his reply to my comment.
According to the developer the issue a couple weeks ago was due to hitting the existing rate limiting because of growing numbers. Not because google was all of a sudden caring more than they used to.
Was there a more recent issue? Things have been working for me since that account pool increase. I see another issue referencing anonymous login rate limiting but that was already happening before and you could request a new account from the account settings page and it would generally resolve it.

The solution is to go into your app settings and set Google Play links to open in Aurora. Then do a DuckDuckGo for the apps and when you click the link it will open in Aurora. Not ideal but it’s worked well for me.
