For context: I recently switched to a Pixel 9, installed GrapheneOS and created a profile just for some apps I need Play Store for, which is sandboxed btw. I created a new empty google account for it too.

So I was just downloading an app and saw the option to download it on my old device too, which made me wonder how GP knows about it, since I don’t think I have anything on my new phone that could link to it (except my SIM I guess)

Any ideas?

    On my pixel 9 the aurora store was absolute garbage, constantly saying apps are not compatible with my device. Had to change it to fake an S24 and even then I had this issue constantly.

    I’m now just using Aptoide, its the only store I’ve found that has basically all apps and isn’t the play store.

      That’s odd, I’ve got a Pixel myself and Aurora just worked right out of the box on GrapheneOS. First time I’m hearing about Aptoide though, I’ll check it out.
