minus-squarecerothem@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 years agoHave you ever tried using aurora instead of the play store for devices that don’t natively have it? https://auroraoss.com/
minus-squareɔiƚoxɘup@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoNope. Never had enough trust. I’d sooner use a website and use virustotal to scan. At least you know what you are getting that way. I may experiment with it on an expendable device, so thank you all the same.
