Pro version on Android-based phone without Google Play Store

Diarium version: 3.0.79
ShiftPhone with ShiftOS 3.10 L (based on Android)

Hi, I'm sure I'm a bit of a snowflake here, but my issue is that I use a de-googled OS (based on Android) which does not support Google Play Store. As an alternative, I am using Aurora Store which loads the app by itself just fine - I can use the free trial version -, but if I want to use the "Purchase for Android" button, nothing happens and I doubt anything COULD even happen because, as I said, there is no basic Play Store installed (I do have a Google Account for loading Apps, but it's not in the official store so to say). As far as I can see it, I would not even be able to install the Play Store without totally defeating the purpose of my setup.

Using the App on Windows is no option because I prefer to have it on my (personal) phone to use it on the go, which also rules out a potential tablet.

However, the App seems to be the best Journaling option for me so far, and I would like to have the additional features the Pro version includes. Is there any way we could get this to work?

(Edit: I updated to the newest version, which is 3.0.81 for me, just for testing. Same results. I can't buy the full access)

Diarium is only offered and supported by me when downloaded through the Play Store and having Play Services installed. I did not give Aurora Store the authorization to offer my app in their Store.

Aurora is not a "new store" by itself, it just provides a sort of proxy to the Google Play Store. Basically, it's just a reskin of the Google Store for everything that you don't need to immediately pay for, so you don't have to use Google Services. But that leads to my current problem where I can't access the license model that Diarium uses.

But I'll assume that there won't be a solution for this problem then - sad, but thanks anyway.

Same problem here. I really love this app, but I can't access the pro subscription that I paid for on my old phone, but can't access on my deGoogled phone. I have a Mudita Kompakt.

If anyone comes up with a solution, please let us know!

Got rid of Google from my phone as much as possible after i bought it via google. I was able to purchase it for android again as a license key through gumroad https://timopartl.gumroad.com/l/diarium?layout=profile yet it seems it is only listed for Windows now. Not sure if you simply get a license key that is redeemable in the app.
