   Hmm, so if I take that link and share it to Aurora Store it brings up the   
   entry for the app, but the version number is zero.  If I press Install it   
   says 'App not available for your device'. If I fiddle with language or   
   device spoofing, no change.   
      
   Aurora allows a manual download option if you know the integer versionCode   
   for the app (often it's something like 010203 for version 1.2.3, but not   
   always).  A bit of digging around 'mirror' sites suggested the versionCode   
   for Eroski 4.3.1 XAPK is '20250128' and for 4.2.3 APK it's '20240710'.  But   
   neither of those versionCodes work - 'the version code you are requesting is   
   unavailable'.   
      
   I don't have a Spanish VPN to see if this changes if I geolocate to Spain.
