Tested this myself, as that used to be the workaround for apps not appearing, but I'm facing the same issue on some apps. For the time being, installing/updating manually via APKMirror isn't ideal, but I'm not installing the Play Store.
I managed to find a way by downloading the user profile that appears and copying it through the user profile manager to the user profile of the banking apps and, if it wasn't available in any of the Aurora Store apps, I would prefer to use it on the spare smartphone that I have.
I never use dubious sources like this, especially banking apps.
But it's good to know that there are people facing the same problem so that the developer can perhaps solve it.
By the way, does anyone know a way to contact him?
Their issue tracker is probably the best bet.
Oh yeah, it's usually a very bad idea, especially regarding apps handling sensitive information. Since my use case for APKMirror strictly consists of apps without internet permission in a dedicated, otherwise empty profile, the risk is acceptable.
I had discarded this option, so I was looking for other ways to communicate as I was unable to create a Gitlab account due to problems authenticating my bank details.
However, today I did it.
The issue has been created.
