There occur issues if a gitlab project refers in its release data to external hosted .apk file. In some cases (e.g. Aurora Store) download is not possible because cloudflare protection gives "forbidden" error. The referer header seems to pacify this cloudflare protection. Tested with Android 14 in an AVD emulator.

Aurora Storeproject, you still need aGitlab API token, to retrieve latest .apk release. Obtainium either retrieves .apk data from Gitlab API (token necessary) or fromtags-page, which has no information about the latest .apk url.Related to: ImranR98#1397, ImranR98#1389, ImranR98#1384, ImranR98#1382, ImranR98#1381, ImranR98#1380, ImranR98#1359, ImranR98#854, ImranR98#785, ImranR98#697
