Solution

Patch using CLI tools and a prior dev release as described here.

Additional context

The patched YouTube APK is mounted onto the original APK using root.
Clearing app data and force stopping does not solve the issue.
The unpatched app starts up fine.

Acknowledgements

This issue is not a duplicate of an existing bug report.
I have chosen an appropriate title.
All requested information has been provided properly.

oSumAtrIX · 2024-01-27T16:13:54Z

Is the unpatched app version the same as the patched app version?

LisoUseInAIKyrios · 2024-01-27T16:23:41Z

I cannot reproduce this issue.

Try repatching and exclude swipe controls, and verify the patched app works correctly.

oSumAtrIX · 2024-01-27T16:25:37Z

That patch appearing in the stack trace is because the class super is intercepted by that patch. The stack trace indicates that the mounted APK can not find the resources indicating that the mounted APK resource IDs mismatch the actual resources's IDs as the resources are located in splits which were built with a different version of the app.

Yes it is.

Yeah I also thought that, but I don't know how this is possible, I install the APK, then patch the APK then mount the patched APK onto the installed one and this happens.

The same happens for 3 different YouTube versions that I tried.
Maybe I should test another device or something.

I was able to downgrade to 18.45.43. Some patches are unavailable, but it doesn't crash on startup like 19.xx

Try patching 18.49.37. All patches support that version.

If that still doesn't work, try 18.48.39 which supports all patches except ReturnYouTubeDislike.

Both of them crash unfortunately. I removed "Copy Video URL" patch and 19.x doesn't crash. I guess anything that adds an icon or resource causes a crash. Many of the icons are broken too.

LisoUseInAIKyrios · 2024-01-27T20:36:30Z

Edit: the problem is fixed. Patch as usual using the latest release.

andrea-musci · 2024-01-27T22:16:15Z

If you have root on your android phone, disable patch auto update in revanced manager settings and then you can manually edit /data/user/0/app.revanced.manager.flutter/shared_prefs/FlutterSharedPreferences.xml to make it point to patches and integrations reported by LisoUseInAIKyrios.
In this way, revanced manager will use the custom patches version and make a patched youtube that can be installed with root method and that doesn't crash.
I just did it and it's working.
Thanks LisoUseInAIKyrios for sharing working patches version.

Also had to delete everything in the folder except shared_prefs for it to stick.

flutter.integrationsDownloadURL this reverts back to the original url even after setting up integration url from up there. So even after patch is successful app still crashes. I think I have to wait for revanced app update. hope they fix it soon.

Hi, it's kinda weird but I don't see app.revanced.manager.flutter folder. Am I doing something wrong ?
