 🔍 Orion does not have any trackers! 
Saw a few people asking about the 5 "trackers" flagged in App Manager or TrackerControl, so wanted to clear up what those actually are.
**What they actually are:**
- App Manager flags manifest activities from libraries, not active surveillance services.
- These are literally just the 5 internal screen renderers bundled inside the Unity Ads SDK:
 - **`AdUnitActivity`**: standard video playback screen
 - **`FullScreenWebViewDisplay`**: webview player for end cards and interactive screens
 - **`AdUnitTransparentActivity`**: transparent overlay screen
 - **`AdUnitSoftwareActivity`** and **`AdUnitTransparentSoftwareActivity`**: fallback renderers for devices that struggle with hardware acceleration
It is 1 single ad library split across its rendering components, not 5 separate tracking networks.
**How it works in Orion:**
- It only ever touches memory if you explicitly tap to watch a rewarded video in the "Fuel the Code" quest for XP.
- There are zero background services, no banner ads, and no user data collected or sent anywhere.
- If you do not care about the rewarded XP quest, you can block all 5 of them right there in App Manager. The store will still work completely fine.
## Orion Store 2.0 · Native at last :rocket:
Orion Store has been **rebuilt from the ground up as a native Android app**. The web app has been rewritten in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on **Material 3 Expressive**, with spring motion, shape morphing, a new storefront and features that were never possible before. Updating from 1.x is a normal install over the old app, and your profile, XP, badges, favorites and settings come along.

## Overview :milky_way:
Orion Store is an Android-first store client that leans on public sources instead of hiding everything behind a private service layer. The app pulls catalog data from public JSON, resolves releases from GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg, and keeps the delivery path understandable enough that users can see where things come from and how updates are discovered.
This repository is the client application itself. The live catalog, configuration, notices, and release metadata used by the app are maintained separately in RookieEnough/Orion-Data, which keeps the UI and the store data cleanly separated.
> Orion is built for people who care where software comes from, not just how quickly it downloads.
At a glance:
- Public JSON catalog with inspectable configuration
- Multi-source releases (GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg)
- Native install, update, and security tooling
- Skip Android's 24-hour unverified-app wait with built-in wireless install
## What makes Orion different :sparkles:
The point of Orion is not to pretend infrastructure does not exist. It is to reduce hidden infrastructure and move as much of the i
