Bug description | 描述 Bug

I'm not sure if this is by design, but feels like a problem to me.

Every time I restart my phone all the Revanced patched apps stop working, I need to unpatch the apps and patch them again and install via mount (root).

But on next reboot they're broken again.

I tested with YouTube, YouTube music and Reddit Sync.

Reproduce method | 复现方法

  1. Patch YouTube music with Revanced
  2. Install via mount (root)
  3. Restart phone
  4. YouTube music says it's patched, but it's not.
  5. Need to unpatch the app and start from 1. again

Expected behavior | 预期行为

Phone restart should not break revanced apps

Actual behavior | 实际行为

Phone restart breaks revanced apps

This issue was marked as closed in August as "fixed", but still occurs in the latest nightly (11119).

This is a pretty major problem with how APatch operates, as it means there's a gap between initial boot and activation of the user space where APatch isn't active and cannot accept or deny SU requests and likely stays in a state vulnerable to malicious action.

It seems to be less that, and more of an issue of how the android shell is able to mount with APatch

For example: if YouTube is unmounted using magisk or ksu, you can run the service.d script in userspace and remount the app successfully. On APatch, the app will not mount via the script, no matter how I've ran it

I'm also experiencing this issue on APatch 11107. Is it possible to remount a patched application (i.e. YouTube), without repatching it? Maybe I could run a script to remount until this gets fixed?

I use tasker to kill YouTube after boot.

Open in browser to import project.

Can confirm I'm also affected by the issue. Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro running Hyperos EU 2.0.5.0. Tried killing the app without tasker by doing /system/bin/am com.google.android.youtube as su on termux to no avail.

This workaround fixed it for me. The file is /data/adb/service.d/com.google.android,youtube.sh https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/issues/2168#issuecomment-2445610792
