BlankStore doesn't see/update my paid apps
Not sure if that was always the case, but I've just noticed that none of my paid apps are listed in "my apps". Not being shown of course also means not being updated.
Besides: Just applied an update on a free app, and wasn't prompted to acknowledge permissions. Are those never shown on updates? Might be nice to get a notice at least even if nothing on the perms changed ;)
I'm unable to find any paid apps when searching, including one that I had bought previously with my account. I'm guessing this is a limitation of BlankStore.
I'm on a fresh install of BlankStore on a i9300 phone, which never had any Google Apps previously installed, running CM13 nightly.
Apparently there is some licesensing check issue that needs to be dealt with, according to what I've read from: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/122280/download-purchased-apk-from-play-store
Commit 2ae2526afb366b7abf94bed3c59b6e761f4d6d0c is titled "Licensing working, building needs to be fixed" but who knows if that has been fixed.
Anyway, as a workaround, I found I was able to use https://github.com/onyxbits/Raccoon to access playstore with my gmail address, password, and gsfid, and then manually download apk's that I had purchased, but then of course I had to install via adb.
Raccoon is what I'm using as well meanwhile. Still there's one remaining issue neither Raccoon nor Blankstore can solve: if such an app wants to verify its license, it will fail (unless you've got the original GServices installed). Here it sometimes helps to reach out to the corresponding dev. Luckily not all paid apps do so; so it would be nice to have BlankStore (or its successor) supporting them for download :)
