I can confirm I'm getting this as well. It seems quite a few patches depend on this missing settings patch.

What's stranger is that it exists in the patches.json file (as of 2.147.0), but Vanced Manager is not recognizing it.

It doesn't exist in the json.

[bigyihsuan]

Workaround found: uninstall and reinstall Revanced Manager, and try patching again. The only problem is that the settings doesn't show in the patches list.

[mikk150]

So, new behaviors, if I give root access to Revanced Manager, it fails to patch, if I do not, then it succeeds, but cannot install(For obvious reasons)

This actually helps. But I got a walkarownd to install as root. First revoke root access of ReVanced then select the patches and start patching. And after finishing patch before install enable root access and than install. Works like a charm

[oSumAtrIX]

The patching process happens regardless of root. Reason why you can also patch on other devices with the CLI instead of directly on your phone.

It should be like this but I can confirm revoking root access makes it so the patching succeeds. I tested it several times and it's definitely that.

Edit: though I still can't manage to install it successfully afterwards.

[oSumAtrIX]

That would be weird because the patching process has nothing to do with root or not. Root is first used when installing/mounting.

I'm use microg patch(no need for root, but I gave revanced manager root access), and facing the same problem. Just use the workaround mikk150 and FahimAnayet mentioned above: revoke root access to make a successful patch. Though the revanced manager can not install the APK file, there is an option on the left top menu to allow the patched APK to be exported. Then I just opened a file manager to install the patched APK file. might be helpful for root patches.

I have the same error when using revanced-cli for patching
already using latest release of cli, patches and integrations, and the error still exist
the error only occurs when patching apk of 18.06.XX (18.06.35, 18.06.39, 18.06.41 tested at the time of writing)
and doesn't happen when patching older versions
(no youtube beta version tested)

Steps to reproduce
java.exe -jar revanced-cli-2.20.0-all.jar -c -a youtube_18.06.41.apk -b revanced-patches-2.163.0.jar -m revanced-integrations-0.98.0.apk --experimental -o revanced-18.06.41.apk

These are not compatible versions by the patches, check the compatible versions.

[vinceingithub]

Is there any fix for this?

[oSumAtrIX]

Patch compatible versions

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

Patch compatible versions

I have the exact same error with both compatible and incompatible versions.

Using a non compatible version is unknown territory, and the expected outcome is failure.

For patching a compatible app version, try:

• Uninstall ReVanced Manager
• Uninstall ReVanced YouTube
• Reinstall latest Manager
• Patch using recommended patches

I did that, even just applying the microg patch only with youtube at correct version and revanced stock gives the same error.
As everyone has said, that's not the problem, it's root, using root gives the error, denying root solves it.

Without root, even the incompatible versions are installed correctly with no problem, so until a fix is made to address the root issue, there is no other way but to manually deny root.
It won't be solved by "patching compatible version".
I hope that was clear enough.

[oSumAtrIX]

If that is really the case it's very weird. Root or not is first required at installing the app. At no time root is required for patching applications.

should we move the issue to the app repo?

[oSumAtrIX]

Dunno, it kinda belongs to both.

[SeasonPhan]

i can confirm this problem exist on lastest 0.0.57 with patch 2.166.0
revoking root access fixes the problem (no need for reinstalling, clearing Manager data/cache , just purely revoking root access from magisk and restart Manager)

edit: im running android 13

[rbyrnedugan]

I was facing this issue today (non-rooted Pixel 7 Pro on Android 13) when trying to patch the 18.05.40 version of YouTube. After upgrading my stock YouTube app from 17.x to 18.05.40, the issue went away and patching worked properly.

[oSumAtrIX]

If this is still a problem, please open a new issue.
