It is. Those fake accounts that Aurora Store uses stop working randomly. I learned the hard way to never rely on Aurora Store ever again and just use sandboxed Play Store on GrapheneOS.
How do you make throwaways for that, does this not require a new gmail account which may require phone number now too? Serious question, I know people are making throwaway gmail accounts, but I have no clue how.
In my experince, kind of. You can log in with your Google account and it works fine, but that negates most of the privacy benefits. Alternatively, only the search is broken with anonymous login, so you can set Aurora as the app to open play.google.com links and open them from your browser and it downloads and updates like normal.

it fails to fetch app details when I open a link in aurora store though
Not here, i use it regularly for updates and install some apps. Just checked and updated some apps.
PS: I’m using a created account.
Droid-ify is my preferred F-Droid app since it can pair with Shizuku for easier rootless updating.
