Overview

Yalp Store

What does it do?

Yalp Store lets you download apps from Google Play Store as apk files. It can search for updates of installed apps and lets you search for other apps. Yalp saves downloaded apks to your default download folder. Other features include browsing categories, viewing and leaving reviews, black/whitelisting apps for updates, filtering apps by being free/paid and containing/not containing ads.

To supplement the features related to Google Play, Yalp Store has ordinary package manager features: listing, running, installing and uninstalling local apps.

If root is available, Yalp Store can update your apps in background, install and uninstall system apps.

Yalp Store can be installed as a system app to gain background package installation permission. In this case, the "Unknown sources" setting can be left off. You can let Yalp Store self-install as a system app, or get the OTA zip from the releases page.

Why would I use it?

If you are content with Google Play Store app, you will not need this app.

The point of Yalp Store is to be small and independent from Google Services Framework. As time passed, Google Services Framework and Google Play Store apps grew in size, which made them almost too big for old phones (Nexus One has 150Mb memory available for apps, half of it would be taken by Google apps). Another reason to use Yalp Store is if you frequently flash experimental ROMs. This often breaks gapps and even prevents their reinstallation. In this situation Yalp will still work.

How does it work?

Yalp Store uses the same (protobuf) API the android Play Store app uses. It downloads apks directly from Google servers.

By default Yalp Store connects to Google services using a built-in account, so you do not have to own a Google account to use it. The only reason to use a live Google account is to access the paid apps you own.

Each time you log in a new Google Services Framework id (also known as device id) is generated using your device parameters. The list of parameters Google requires for that is rather long (example). They are used for app filtering and compatibility checks on the server side. It is possible to mimic a different device. In Yalp Store settings you will find a list of bundled device definitions. Note that no personal info is disclosed, only technical information about your device.

When the GSF id is ready, your email and password (if you provided them) are used to generate an authorization token. The authorization token is used to sign all Play Store API requests. Your password is used only once and is not stored, the token is enough for all the requests.

FAQ

Q: What about buying apps, books, music, movies? Is it going to be implemented at some point?

A: No. Only free apps and apps you have purchased are going to be accessible through Yalp Store. Google Play API is not open and is not documented, so Yalp Store is developed through reverse-engineering. To implement features related to anything that requires payment I would have to (very) frequently buy stuff from Google Play Store.

Q: Even though I granted the write permission to Yalp Store, it still says "Downloads directory could not be created or is not writable." How do I download anything?

A: Try force-closing Yalp Store and launching it again. If it doesn't help, read this discussion.

Q: I cannot download files! Or Yalp Store says that there is no network connection.

A: Try turning off VPN or ad-blocking apps.

Q: Some apps are not getting the latest release available on Play Store. What do I do?

A: For different reasons the app developer might choose not to release his app for all users at the same time. This is called a staged rollout. Be patient, the update will come.

Q: I would like to spoof device X. Can you add its definition to Yalp Store?

A: There is an extended library of devices here. If you found your device, put it into your downloads directory and it will appear in Yalp Store spoof device list. Note that the files are named by device codenames which might not be the same as the names with which the devices are sold, for example codename of Nexus 5X is bullhead. Also, the device definitions are simple text files, so if you know exactly what you need to spoof, you can just edit them by hand. Note that all the devices in the above mentioned list were submitted by users, so if you haven't found the device you wanted, you are out of luck. I cannot create a device definition on demand.

Q: Can Yalp Store download region-locked apps?

A: Not directly. But it is easier than with Play Store. Play Store servers detect your location by your ip address, so to appear to be in a different region you are going to need a VPN. Log out of Yalp Store (clearing Yalp Store app data does the same thing). Turn your VPN solution on and choose a desired location. Log in to Yalp Store again. You should be able to download apps from your chosen region now.

Q: Is it legal to use Yalp Store with my own Google account?

A: No. Yalp Store violates §3.3 of Google Play Terms of Service. Your account might be disabled, robbing you of any apps you have purchased.

Q: Is it safe to use Yalp Store with my own Google account?

A: Yes. Software like Yalp Store, Google Play Crawler and Raccoon has been used for years and it seems to be safe. Never heard of any real cases of accounts being disabled.

Yalp > 0.35 not working anymore: no network

If I start Yalp and tap on "search for updates" it tells me "no network connection"

This behaviour happens with version 0.39 and 0.40 (could not download 0.36 - 0.38) and with Lollipop and Nougat, but Yalp 0.40 works with Jelly Bean.

I deinstalled Yalp and reinstalled the version 0.35 and everything is OK.

My devices are rootet, every app named "Google-xxx" or similar are disabled, AF-Wall is installed (and Yalp has permission), AdAway is working, Xprivacy is disabled for Yalp. So: nothing changed between versions 0.35 and 0.40 but Yalp itself.

Is this repository no longer being maintained?
Whilst I can appreciate the pressure of maintaining a project as large as this one and with the understanding I am not blaming anyone, I am concerned that this project has been abandoned.

There hasn't been any updates since October 16th 2018 and since then more and more apps aren't working. This is the default method of installation for anyone using MicroG on LineageOS. Apps quite important to me no longer work due to no support for bundling.

Do we know if this project is actually abandoned?

Is it worth forking & fixing if this is the case?

What other options exist?

Unfortunately my development experience lies in another domain so my usefulness is limited.

Add a way to install a split APK even when root is disabled
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yalp 0.4.5 refuses to install a split APK when root is not enabled. But some apps like Google Maps can work even if only the first APK is installed (but the app will be in English only).

Describe the solution you'd like It would be useful to have a way to force the installation of a split APK.

Describe alternatives you've considered I think this could be either:

A per-app option (maybe a warning with "Are you sure you want to install this? It might not work."

A global option in the settings

Unable to login with the built-in account
Expected behavior I open Yalpstore, get a list of installed apps and press the "check for updates" button. Then I am asked which account to use and I try to login in Google Play with the built-in account.

Actual behavior I get a "Token despenser error 500 Server error". After this Yalp repeats the question and I have to kill it via the built-in task switcher.

Your setup Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, stock Android 4.4.4, YalpStore 0.43 (flashed with TWRP as system app).

Download fails due to permission problems
Yalp Version

YalpStore 0.28

Expected behaviour

After logging in and search for app updates you click on an app with available updates. After that you click the download button. The download should start and you should be able to install the application afterwards.

Actual behaviour

Instead of downloading the application I get a pop up message, that says: "could not create folder or it is not writable" (translated to english).

Steps to reproduce

Log in to with fake yalp credentials

Update application list (search for updates)

click on any app with new updates

click on the download button

You are asked (if yalp store is freshly installed) to grant access to the storage

You grant access to the storage

Download fails, because location is not writable

If I look in the privacy protection settings in the settings of android and select Yalp store, I can see, that the change of settings was one time denied, although I definitely clicked on granting access to the storage. I tried it 3 times with a freshly installed yalp store and I always have the same beaviour.

As I was facing issues, I have raised a ticket (https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Gallery/issues/1115).

The developer mentioned that Yalp does not support app bundling. will this feature be supported soon?

Cannot connect: GooglePlayException Server Error

I cannot get YalpStore to work on a Nexus 5 (hammerhead). I tried ROMs NitrogenOS and DarkROM. Same behaviour with both: 1.- I open a freshly installed Yalp Store. A toast message appears with "com.github.yeriomin.play.storeapi.GooglePlayException Server Error" 2.- Then the only options I get are trying to login using a fake account or using my own account. If I try login again with the fake account, the error repeats.

I cannot access settings since the login popup is modal. Note I am running MicroG and all seelf-checks are passing (I don't know if this matters, I write it just in case). I have also previously installed exactly the same configuration with a NitrogenOS ROM on a Nexus 4 (mako) and everything worked flawlessly (and is working flawlessly as of today).

Is this a bug or am I missing something.

Download arrives in 3 parts
Expected behavior I download an upgrade for an ebook reader (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.geometerplus.zlibrary.ui.android). I expect one apk file.

Actual behavior I get 3 apk files, one containing most stuff, one contailing the /lib files for my system and one containing some /res stuff.

Steps to reproduce

Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.geometerplus.zlibrary.ui.android

Check Download folder.

Your setup Sony Z3 compact, Android 6.0.1, Yalp 0.45 (System app). Delta updates deselected in the settings.

Edit: when I do the same on an Android 4.4.4 device I do get a single apk. Maybe this has something to do with the new app bundle functionality?

License Checks On Free Apps
Before creating an issue

I have Yalp 0.43

No Search results found...

I did not send the developer a bug report using Yalp's built-in crash tool.

I'm not sure it helps in this situation...

Use the following template to write the text of your issue.

Expected behavior Apps In Yalp Store should not be asking for License Checks, I assumed the apps listed as not using GSF would work this way, but that is not the case. Tigard is listed as No GSF...

Actual behavior Many Free apps run a license check when opening them up...

Steps to reproduce

Download as an example Tigad iconpack

Install and run app, you get a License Check popup that won't go away, because it can't validate, since the app wasn't downloaded through the Play Store.

Your setup Essential CarbonRom 6.1 (Oreo 8.1.0) Yalp Store 0.43

Stated by the developers words; The point of Yalp Store is to be small and independent from Google Services Framework.

So the problem of trying to be independent is, that many free apps that have paid versions, can't be used on a Gapps Free microG Custom Rom, these still need to be downloaded through the Play Store.

I hope there is something in the near future that can change this, so people that want to be Gapps Free, microG, YalpStore users, can do this, for now, this is broke. :(

Thanks
