Ship with Aurora services for Aurora Store/Droid updates

Summary

Pre-install the Aurora privileged extension to make automatic updates in Aurora possible. This allows for automatic security updates (increasing security) for the very apps, when you install them from aurora: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.aurora.store/

This feature concerns

  • UI
  • Behavior
  • Privacy (maybe if F-Droid is used)

How to: Just pre-flash the AuroraServices here: https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore/-/tags

While you are at it, you could also pre-install F-Droid, but that is not needed as users can simply do this. Just installing

Note: Users can still choose whether they want automatic updates in the F-Droid settings.

Note: There are two aurora apps, AFAIK one uses F-Droid and one Google Apps.I dunno if the F-Droid version uses the F-Droid privileged extension (#1228 (closed)) or it's own. I guess it's own is used for installing both apps. These are two apps: One installs F-Droid apps (Aurora Droid), one Google apps (Aurora Store)
