The same injected IPA can be installed with TrollStore or a developer-certificate sideloader.
Jailbroken. Add the repository in Sileo, Zebra or Cydia:
https://itzzace.github.io/ytkace/
Rootless and roothide packages are both published. The repository page also has an Add to Sileo button.
Sideloaded. Download the IPA from the latest release and install it with TrollStore, AltStore, SideStore or LiveContainer.
Fork the repository, enable Actions, open the IPA workflow and provide a direct link to a decrypted YouTube IPA you are legally allowed to use. The completed workflow provides the injected IPA as an artifact. The Deb workflow builds the tweak package.
Open the YTKACE tab and tap the gear, or open YouTube Settings and choose YTKACE. Both pages carry the same options, and the YouTube Settings section has a search bar.

YTKACE 0.8.2 contains zero YTKPlus code. It was independently written with its own UI, assets, and structure, and copyright does not cover features or general similarities alone. I would have preferred to discuss this privately, but I was blocked on Telegram before the claims were made publicly through tweets and a DMCA notice. If you believe any copyrighted material remains, please show me exactly where and I will review it.
