Why would you use revanced Spotify in the first place when xmanager is there ?

[Alaric323]

This bug still occurs; specifically trying to apply recording patch to allow operation with Rootless JamesDSP. Applying the patch causes the app to force close immediately on launch.

You will need to mount via root.

[Alaric323]

Don't have and can't root, as much as I'd like to. Hence Rootless JamesDSP. Their github said to try this patch.

[oSumAtrIX]

Send crash logs.

[Alaric323]

How do I grab them? I'm assuming through ADB?

For reference, the current version of Spotify is v8.8.12.545. I apply only the "Disable Capture Restriction v0.0.2" plug in, and it succeeds in making the APK. Before install, I uninstall the original Spotify, then move back to ReVanced Manager and install the patched version. The patched version immediately crashes on startup.

[oSumAtrIX]

Yeah, logcat works

[Alaric323]

logcat grep spotify.txt

Here's a grepped logcat searching for spotify only, includes uninstallation of the stock app.
