2. Start patching

Run the following commands, replacing the placeholder filenames with the actual filename.

java -jar cli.jar patch -b patches.jar -m integrations.apk -o out.apk input.apk
placeholder meaning example
cli.jar revanced-cli jar file revanced-cli-2.22.0-all.jar
input.apk the apk you want to patch youtube.apk
patches.jar revanced patches bundles revanced-patches-2.187.0.jar
integration.apk revanced integrations revanced-integrations-0.115.1.apk
out.apk the filename of the patched apk patched.apk

Example:

java -jar revanced-cli-3.1.0-all.jar patch -b revanced-patches-2.190.0.jar -m revanced-integrations-0.117.1.apk -o out.apk youtube.apk

3. Installing Patched apk

  1. Copy the patched APK file to your phone
  2. Install the APK you just transferred
  3. Read the troubleshooting section if you have further issues

!!! You may need to install GmsCore if you used the GmsCore support patch, which is the default when patching YouTube related apps. !!!

4. Update ReVanced

  1. Delete the old cli.jar, patches.jar, integration.jar, out.apk, input.apk
  2. Repeat from section 1
