Device setup

• Install GmsCore on device: https://github.com/ReVanced/GmsCore/releases

Pre-requisites

• Grab the latest supported YouTube APK, e.g.: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-19-16-39-release/youtube-19-16-39-android-apk-download/
  • You can use this script to determine which versions are supported:

    curl -X 'GET' 'https://api.revanced.app/v4/patches/list' -H 'accept: application/json' \
     | jq '.[] | select(.compatiblePackages."com.google.android.youtube") | .compatiblePackages."com.google.android.youtube"[]' \
     | sort -u
    

  • Grab the "nodpi" version
• Grab JARs:
  • https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-cli/releases
  • https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches/releases
• Integrations APK: https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-integrations/releases

Build

• Build container:

  docker build -t revanced-patcher .
  

• Run:

  docker run --rm -v /path/to/revanced-docker/data:/opt/build revanced-patcher
  

If successful, a youtube-revanced.apk file should be output to the data directory. Transfer this to the target device and install it (uninstall existing YouTube app first).
