New source: Apkcombo

A simple suggestion to add a new source: https://apkcombo.com/

In here are several apps not present on playstore.

Not sure how trustworthy this site is (the only other closed-source third party Source Obtainium currently supports is APKMirror which has been around for a long time and is from AndroidPolice.com). It also doesn't have an API or RSS feed so we'd need to use web scraping which is error prone.

Not against adding it, but not a high priority for those reasons.

I tried adding this, and Obtainium currently has the code for it, but it is disabled as the HTTP requests don't go through. I guess they don't want people to be able to scrape easily. I tried a bunch of user agents and other headers but nothing seemed to work. Leaving the issue open but won't be looking at it again anytime soon. In the meantime, APKPure is a similar site that you could use instead (see #531).

@ImranR98 I wonder, do the problems mentioned above also apply for APKFlash?

I don't really know what problem you stumbled upon, but in case you haven't tried here is something interesting.

This is the download link for the YouTube APK obtained from a browser: https://download.apkcombo.com/com.google.android.youtube/YouTube_18.49.37_apkcombo.com.apk?ecp=Y29tLmdvb2dsZS5hbmRyb2lkLnlvdXR1YmUvMTguNDkuMzcvMTU0MTY2NDE5Mi4wNDJjNTNhNmY4NzAxNjM0NWZjMjllM2E4NDBlNmY5MzRjZTRhYmU1LmFwaw==&iat=1704564785&sig=4742485a3403a6733fa60bc411322cdc&size=147804449&from=cf&version=latest&lang=en&fp=lu23hvngrif72kam0vqbqy2b9rdfnf2g&ip=104.104.104.104 This is the one you get from a HTTP request: https://download.apkcombo.com/com.google.android.youtube/YouTube_18.49.37_apkcombo.com.apk?ecp=Y29tLmdvb2dsZS5hbmRyb2lkLnlvdXR1YmUvMTguNDkuMzcvMTU0MTY2NDE5Mi4wNDJjNTNhNmY4NzAxNjM0NWZjMjllM2E4NDBlNmY5MzRjZTRhYmU1LmFwaw==&iat=1704564794&sig=39f2840c1649a21e2503c11ed547314d&size=147804449&from=cf&version=latest&lang=en&error=0

Looks like the fp and ip parameters are needed. I randomly generated the 32 characters string and the IP address and it looks like it still works.
