Does this still work? I recently got a new tablet and tried to avoid creating a new Google account for it. Installed the Aurora store. When you start that you're given three options: anonymous session, another type of anonymous session, or log in with a Google account.

Both types of anonymous session timed out repeatedly over a period of about three days so I eventually caved and made a throwaway Google account for it. In which case I should have just used the Play store.

Thanks! I'm going to try it! But how can you be sure that you are getting the real thing? Fastmail does not publish checksums of their apks. I asked their user support (which is otherwise excellent) if they could publish apks or at least the checksums, and they basically said "thanks for your suggestion".
