I didn't add the google tools to my LineageOS install, so I don't have the play store. Would kind of like Cash App, my bank app, etc, but don't want to download from a random site for obvious reasons. For instance, cash app is available here.

Is there a trustworthy source for these kinds of apks? Or does everyone just use websites/do without.

Dunno MachineFab, but from my experience, few are the banking programs that on Android work without Google Play. And least on my case, I would rather avoid even MicroG. So maybe a similar situation with MachineFab?

Nah, I was just ignorant. Thanks for going to bat for me though.

From what they wrote it seems MachineFab is reinstalling them on their new phone - not a bad way to source the apps if Aurora is down

You're closer to the mark: I like at least staying familiar with/possessing options that don't require the internet. Pseudo-amish ideation at work.
