feat: Allow for multi-user support.

Issue

I use the multiple users feature on my Samsung S8 Ultra Tablet for me and my daughter. When trying to install the patched YouTube I get the error 'App not installed as package conflicts with an existing package.'

Feature

Allow for multiple users to use the patched YouTube.

Motivation

It's a much needed feature I think would benefit users who share their devices.

Additional context

Unless someone can share on how to get this working without it being a feature request? I've searched and tried multiple things but nothing works other than to install on one user account.

Likely has something to do with keystores. You should be able to get around it by exporting the patched apk file from manager and get it over to a computer (or use the cli), uninstalling the patched app and then install the exported apk using adb.

Exporting the Apk from manager on one account, getting the file over to the second account and then installing it might also work.

Thank you for that, I used your second method and got it all working very quickly. 👍🏻

Exported a patched YouTube APK on my main account, moved it to second account and installed. Then patched and installed as normal on my main account. I did also use the 'delete keystore' feature in the settings each time. Not sure if this made any difference.

Would still be great for the manager to create a unique install or somehow share the install like the Playstore does if possible.

GrapheneOS has a better implementation of AOSP user profiles, apps can be passed from main along with automatic updates. If this is of interest more generally, the Pixel tablet will be supported upon release.

I have that same issue and the workaround is to simply share the APK and send it on the other account somehow (I use Telegram for that) then install it on the other account and it should work.

With root, the way to do it is to install the base youtube apk from either apk directly, google play store, etc.

Then flash magisk module and it will work for both users.
