TIL there's an Amazon app store.

Lol. Yeah, they've got quite the wall around their garden. It's hell getting the play store running on their hardware.

Have you ever tried using aurora instead of the play store for devices that don't natively have it?

Nope. 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.

I've since tried it on a Bliss FOSS image. Still not able to get apps working.
