Safe DraStic .apk download? (sh.itjust.works)

I recently got a used surface duo for the sole purpose of emulating nintendo ds and 3ds. I have retroarch running with Desmume but as far as i understand, drastic offers better performance on android.

I know i can get it on the play store (for now at least), but i dont have a google account (and i will not sign up for one). I can see that there are many sites offering downloads of an .apk, but they all seem pretty shady to me.

What would be the best way to get a malware-free .apk for drastic? Am i better of waiting for it to go open source and build it myself?

Not seeing it on APKmirror. Aurora Store can be used to dowload from Google Play without an account.

If you're willing to trust a stranger on the internet, I downloaded the latest version from Aurora Store and uploaded it here.

For some reason the only option is to save as app bundle. There are multiple apks inside, I'm not sure which you would install or how you would install the whole bundle.

Hope it helps!

Perfect, thank you! I had heard about aurora, but forgot about it so thanks for reminding me
