    Is there any reason why one would log in with Google on Aurora? Or why they won’t let you log in or create an account without google?

      Aurora is frontend to the Google Play Store, and Google requires a log in.

      If you log in anonymously, you use common Google credentials shared between users of the app.

      While this is not ideal (that would be anonymous access to the store) it is the best solution we have.

      Basically Aurora has no account system of its own, it’s just a way to access the Google Play store without using the Play app. You can either use a Google account or the generic anonymous account.
