It should be noted that, at least in my case, this error persists regardless of whether I use a VPN, clear the cache, refresh the anonymous account, force-close the app, or restart the device. Since I do not have a Google account, I am unsure if this issue is specific to anonymous accounts. ## Expected Behaviour <!--- Tell us what should happen --> I would expect Aurora Store to install the application as it normally does. ## Actual Behaviour <!--- Tell us what happens instead --> Instead, all applications fail to install, and Aurora Store presents an error that reads: "&$Server busy, please try again later." ## Steps to Reproduce <!--- Provide a link to a live example (screenshots/recording etc..), or a set of steps to reproduce the issue --> 1. Search for an application 2. Click the application's search result 3. Click "Install" ## Environment <!--- Include as many relevant details about the environment you experienced the bug in. For example: * Device model & codename: OnePlus 8T "instantnoodle" * Android version: 11.0.0 * Aurora Store version: 4.0.2 * Nightly date: 2024-01-15 * Account Type: Anonymous * Installation method: root/session/shizuku/app manager * OS: OxygenOS 11.0.1 (Android skin) --> * Device model & codename: Fairphone 5 * Android version: 16 * Aurora Store version: 4.8.4 * Nightly date: 2026-08-31 * Account Type: Anonymous * Installation method: Session * OS: CalyxOS 7.2.4.20
