• I have checked all open and closed bug reports and this is not a duplicate.
• I have chosen an appropriate title.
• All requested information has been provided properly.
• The bug is only related to ReVanced Manager.

I'm having the same issue with Kleinanzeigen since the latest Revanced Manager update.

[ColinM9991]

This exception and stack trace occurs across multiple different apps

[PalmDevs]

Required value was null means some fingerprint failed to match. This usually means the patch isn't updated for the latest version of a specific app.

This is not a Manager issue however, you can report at https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches once it's back up.

[ColinM9991]

This is not a Manager issue however, you can report at https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches once it's back up.

The older versions of ReVanced used to tell the user which app version was required. Based on what you're saying, that no longer seems to be the case.

For instance, ReVanced lists v401.0.0.48.79 of Instagram as the required version (or at least suggests it when attempting to update). I download the unbundled APK and attempt to patch with the default 4 patches

• Hide ads
• Remove build expired popup
• Disable analytics
• Sanitize sharing links

ReVanced patcher fails on Hide ads with the stack-trace listed in the original post.

It's a bit of a UX nightmare if ReVanced is suggesting a version that it is unable to patch as the user then has to work backwards, downloading every version until a compatible one can be found

Aside from that, it clearly states in the app (and this is 100% a problem with Revanced Manager, not the patches), that ANY APP VERSION is supported, when it clearly isn't. @PalmDevs

[PalmDevs]

It's not. ReVanced Manager sources compatibility data from patches. This is out of the scope of ReVanced Manager to fix.

[PalmDevs]

It still does, but Patches lists the wrong version.

Understandable, thank you for clarifying. Fingers crossed that the patches repository will be back and fixed soon
