As the title says, I know you can sandbox apps downloaded through Google Play, but I haven't seen any similar claims for Aurora store. That being said, Aurora's anonymous download/install process is very tempting.

ah, I probably got confused about why people were talking about using their own accounts with Aurora, but their own wiki seems to recommend that for stability

Do I need to use my own Google account to log in? Nope. Aurora Store can log you in with a dummy (anonymous) account that is stored in the token dispenser so that nothing gets linked to your own account. However, it is recommended to use your own Google account, or at the very least a throwaway one which you will not have to worry about if it gets banned. This ensures better stability and gives you the full potential with the features available in Aurora Store.
