Use Obtanium or Zapstore to get the non-Google and non-F-Droid .apk, as those contain trackers for the notification system to work.
Those are alternative stores ?
Indeed. They offer up the original .apks from their respective github sources, so generally don't include trackers etc as you'd find on the Google store versions, or even f-droid at times.
Obtanium is an app where you enter webpage links to github repositories. Its easy. Its just simple copy and paste. Then it downloads and installs it for you while constantly checking for new versions just like an app store. Its great for apps not on F-Droid.
@uxellodunum @harfang então o abtanium é melhor do que o F-Droid ou Aurora store? Tipo, só para atualização?
Claro. Obtanium (e Zapstore) vão directamente à página de Github buscar da fonte. F-Droid tem builds que seguem certas regras estritas, e por isso às vezes tem mudanças. Aurora store é apenas um proxy para Google Play Store.
@uxellodunum obrigado pela dica.
