- You can also patch any other app which is not** supported officially.To do so, you need to provide few more inputs to the tool which are mentioned below. These config will override the sources config from the tool.

<APP_NAME>_DL_SOURCE=<apk-link-to-any-of-the-suppored-scrapper>
   <APP_NAME>_PACKAGE_NAME=<package-name-of-the-application>
You can also provide DL to the clean apk instead of providing DL_SOURCES as mentioned in this note. Supported Scrappers are: 1. APKMIRROR - Supports downloading any available version 1. Link Format - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk//app-name/ 2. Example Link - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/ 2. UPTODOWN - Supports downloading any available version 1. Link Format - https://.en.uptodown.com/android 2. Example Link - https://spotify.en.uptodown.com/android 3. APKEEP - Support downloading using APKEEP. Set _DL_SOURCE to apkeep (defaults to the google-play provider) or apkeep: to pick any provider apkeep itself supports - e.g. apkeep:f-droid, apkeep:apk-pure. 1. Link Format - apkeep or apkeep: 2. Example Link - apkeep:f-droid Note - APKEEP_EMAIL and APKEEP_TOKEN (in the DOCKER_PY_REVANCED_SECRETS Github Secrets) are only needed for the google-play provider, since that's the only one apkeep requires an authenticated Google account for. google-play cannot download a specific _VERSION; use latest for that provider. Only f-droid and apk-pure are documented by apkeep as supporting _VERSION pinning to a specific version - other providers' version-pinning support isn't documented, so don't assume it works there.


Please verify the source of original APKs yourself with links provided. I'm not responsible for any damage caused.If you know any better/safe source to download clean. Open a discussion.

  1. By default, script build the latest version mentioned in patches.json file.
  2. Remember to download the _Microg_. Otherwise, you may not be able to open YouTube/YouTube Music.
  3. By default, tool will build only youtube,youtube_music. To build other apps supported by patching
resources.Add the apps you want to build in .env file or in ENVS in GitHub secrets in the format
PATCH_APPS=<APP_NAME>
Example:
PATCH_APPS=youtube,twitter,reddit
Tip - If for some reason you want to patch app but want to go through all this .env while running you can enter app name in
to be patched box.
  1. If APKMirror or other apk sources are blocked in your region or script
somehow is unable to download from apkmirror. You can download apk manually from any source. Place them in /apks directory and provide environment variable in .env file or in ENVS in GitHub secrets(Recommended) in the format.
EXISTING_DOWNLOADED_APKS=<Comma,Seperate,App,Name>
Example:
EXISTING_DOWNLOADED_APKS=youtube,youtube_music
If you add above. Script will not download the youtube & youtube_musicapk from internet and expects an apk in /apks folder with same name.
  1. If you run script again & again. You might hit GitHub/GitLab API limits.
In that case you can provide your Personal Access Token in .env file or in ENVS in GitHub secrets (Recommended) in the format -
PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=<PAT>
Alternatively, you can add a dedicated PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN secret to the repo (Settings -> Secrets and variables -> Actions) instead of embedding it in ENVS. It's used automatically unless ENVS already sets PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN to a non-empty value, in which case ENVS takes priority.
  1. You can provide Direct download to the resource to used for patching apps .env file
or in ENVS in GitHub secrets (Recommended) in the format -
GLOBAL_CLI_DL=https://github.com/revanced/revanced-cli
    GLOBAL_PATCHES_DL=https://api.revanced.app/v5/patches.rvp
The ReVanced API .rvp endpoint is the default patches source because it provides the binary patch bundle directly. GitLab release URLs are also supported for resources. The tool resolves the latest release through GitLab's release API and filters release links/sources with the same asset extension regex used for GitHub.
GLOBAL_CLI_DL=https://gitlab.com/example/revanced-cli
    GLOBAL_PATCHES_DL=https://gitlab.com/example/revanced-patches/-/releases/permalink/latest
Resources downloaded from envs and will be used for patching for any APP_NAME. Unless provided different resource for the individual app.

Tool also support resource config at app level. You can patch A app with X resources while patching B with Y resources. This can be done by providing Direct download link for resources for app.
Example:
YOUTUBE_CLI_DL=https://github.com/inotia00/revanced-cli
    YOUTUBE_PATCHES_DL=https://github.com/inotia00/revanced-patches
With the config tool will try to patch YouTube with resources from inotia00 while other global resource will used for patching other apps.

Multi-Patching Support: You can now use multiple patch bundles from different creators for the same app:

# Comma-separated URLs
    YOUTUBE_PATCHES_DL=https://gitlab.com/revanced/revanced-patches,https://github.com/indrastorm/Dropped-patches
The tool will download all specified patch bundles and apply them together using the ReVanced CLI's multiple -p argument support.
If you have want to provide resource locally in the apks folder. You can specify that by mentioning filename prefixed with local://.
_Note_ - The link provided must be DLs. Unless they are from GitHub or GitLab.
_Note_ - If your patches resource are available on GitHub/GitLab and you want to select latest resource without excluding pre-release you can add latest-prerelease to the URL. Example:
YOUTUBE_PATCHES_DL=https://github.com/inotia00/revanced-patches/releases/latest-prerelease
For above example tool while selecting latest patches will consider pre-releases/beta too. For GitLab, latest-prerelease maps to GitLab's latest release because GitLab releases do not expose a separate pre-release flag in the release API.
YOUTUBE_PATCHES_DL=https://github.com/inotia00/revanced-patches/releases/latest
For above example tool while selecting latest patches will exclude any pre-release/beta ie. will consider only stable releases..
_Note_ - Some of the patch source like inotia00 still provides - separated patches while revanced shifted to Space formatted patches. Use SPACE_FORMATTED_PATCHES to define the type of patches.

7a. CLI argument compatibility profiles and overrides: This builder now supports multiple CLI syntax families and key-value override maps.

# Default profile (recommended today)
     GLOBAL_CLI_ARGSF=revanced-cli
Built-in profile values: - revanced-cli (default, current flag-based ReVanced CLI format) - morphe-cli (morphe-style list-patches requires --patches)

Override maps use unordered KEY=value pairs in a single string:

GLOBAL_CLI_LPARGS="CMD=list-patches INDEX=-i PACKAGES=-p UNIVERSAL=-u VERSIONS=-v OPTIONS=-o PATCHES=__POSITIONAL__ PATCHES_POST= TEMPORARY_FILES_PATH="
     GLOBAL_CLI_PARGS="CMD=patch PATCHES=-p PATCHES_POST= ENABLED=-e DISABLED=-d OPTIONS=-O PURGE=--purge KEYSTORE=--keystore KEYSTORE_ENTRY_ALIAS=--keystore-entry-alias=alias KEYSTORE_ENTRY_PASSWORD=--keystore-entry-password=ReVanced KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=--keystore-password=ReVanced EXCLUSIVE=--exclusive APK=__POSITIONAL__ OUTPUT=-o FORCE=--force RIP_LIB=--rip-lib TEMPORARY_FILES_PATH=-t"
PATCHES_POST is an optional companion argument appended after every patch bundle (used by ReVanced v6 with -b). TEMPORARY_FILES_PATH is a dynamic argument; when a CLI profile sets it, the builder passes // so parallel patchers do not share purge-sensitive temp files. ReVanced and Morphe patch commands expose -t; Morphe list-patches also exposes -t, while ReVanced list-patches does not. CONTINUE_ON_ERROR is an optional patch flag; the built-in morphe-cli profile enables --continue-on-error because Morphe can skip one failed patch while still producing the app. App-level overrides are also supported and take precedence:
YOUTUBE_CLI_ARGSF=morphe-cli
     YOUTUBE_CLI_LPARGS="PATCHES=--patches TEMPORARY_FILES_PATH=-t"
     YOUTUBE_CLI_PARGS="PATCHES=-p STRIPLIBS=--striplibs TEMPORARY_FILES_PATH=-t"

Example configuration for the standard ReVanced CLI:

GLOBAL_CLI_ARGSF=revanced-cli

  1. If you don't want to use default keystore. You can provide your own by
placing it inside apks folder. And adding the name of keystore-file in .env file or in ENVS in GitHub secrets (Recommended) in the format
GLOBAL_KEYSTORE_FILE_NAME=revanced.keystore
Tool also support providing secret key at app level. You can sign A app with X key while signing B with Y key.
Example:
YOUTUBE_KEYSTORE_FILE_NAME=youtube.keystore
Note - If you are using your own keystore.And it was generated with cli > v4 Add Example:
GLOBAL_OLD_KEY=False
if you are using different key for different apps. You need to specify at app level.
YOUTUBE_OLD_KEY=False
  1. If you don't want to use default options.json file. You can provide your own by
placing it inside apks folder. And adding the name of options-file in .env file or in ENVS in GitHub secrets (Recommended) in the format
GLOBAL_OPTIONS_FILE=my_options.json
Tool also supports providing options file at app level. When an app-specific options file is provided, it is merged with the global options file. App-specific options override global options for the same patch name, while all other global options are preserved.

Example:

YOUTUBE_OPTIONS_FILE=my_cool_yt_options.json

Options Merging Example:
If your global options.json contains Theme and SponsorBlock options, and your app-specific my_cool_yt_options.json contains only a custom package name option, the final merged options will include all three. This is useful when using different patch sources (like Morphe, anddea, ReVanced) that require different patch option names for the same functionality.

Global options.json          App options.json           Final Merged Options
   ┌─────────────────┐         ┌─────────────────┐        ┌─────────────────┐
   │ Theme           │         │ Change package  │   =>   │ Theme           │
   │ SponsorBlock    │    +    │ name            │        │ SponsorBlock    │
   │ Custom branding │         └─────────────────┘        │ Change package  │
   └─────────────────┘                                    │ name            │
                                                          └─────────────────┘
  1. You can build only for a particular arch in order to get smaller apk files.This
can be done with by adding comma separated ARCHS_TO_BUILD in ENVS in GitHub secrets (Recommended) in the format.
GLOABAL_ARCHS_TO_BUILD=arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a
Tool also support configuring at app level.

Example:

YOUTUBE_ARCHS_TO_BUILD=arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a
_Note_ - 1. Possible values are: armeabi-v7a,x86,x86_64,arm64-v8a 2. Make sure the patching resource(CLI) support this feature.
  1. If you want to include any extra file to the Github upload. Set comma arguments
in .env file or in ENVS in GitHub secrets (Recommended) in the format
# Exact filename match
    EXTRA_FILES=<url>@<appName>.apk

# Regex pattern match for dynamic/versioned asset names EXTRA_FILES=<url>@/<regex-pattern>/

Example:
EXTRA_FILES=https://github.com/inotia00/mMicroG/releases/[email protected]
     # Regex example matching versioned MicroG filenames:
     EXTRA_FILES=https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/releases/latest@/com\.google\.android\.gms-\d+\.apk$/
  1. If you want to exclude any patch. Set comma separated patch in .env file
or in ENVS in GitHub secrets (Recommended) in the format
<APP_NAME>_EXCLUDE_PATCH=<PATCH_TO_EXCLUDE-1,PATCH_TO_EXCLUDE-2>
Example:
YOUTUBE_EXCLUDE_PATCH=custom-branding,hide-get-premium
     YOUTUBE_MUSIC_EXCLUDE_PATCH=yt-music-is-shit
Note - 1. All the patches for an app are included by default.
2. Revanced patches are provided as space separated, make sure you type those - separated here. It means a patch named _Hey There_ must be entered as _hey-there_ in the above example.
  1. If you want to include any universal patch. Set comma separated patch in .env
file or in ENVS in GitHub secrets (Recommended) in the format
<APP_NAME>_INCLUDE_PATCH=<PATCH_TO_EXCLUDE-1,PATCH_TO_EXCLUDE-2>
Example:
YOUTUBE_INCLUDE_PATCH=remove-screenshot-restriction
Note - 1. Revanced patches are provided as space separated, make sure you type those - separated here. It means a patch named _Hey There_ must be entered as _hey-there_ in the above example.
  1. If you want to build a specific version or latest version. Add version in .env file
or in ENVS in GitHub secrets (Recommended) in the format
<APP_NAME>_VERSION=<VERSION>
Example:
YOUTUBE_VERSION=17.31.36
    YOUTUBE_MUSIC_VERSION=X.X.X
    TWITTER_VERSION=latest
  1. If you have your personal source for apk to be downloaded. You can also provide that and tool
will not scarp links from apk sources.Add dl in .env file or in ENVS in GitHub secrets (Recommended) in the format
<APP_NAME>_DL=<direct-app-download>
Example:
YOUTUBE_DL=https://example.com/youtube.apk
  1. For Telegram Upload.
1. Set up a telegram channel, send a message to it and forward the message to this telegram bot 2. Copy id and save it to TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID

3. TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN - Telegram provides BOT_TOKEN. It works as sender. Open bot and create one copy api key

4. TELEGRAM_API_ID - Telegram API_ID is provided by telegram here

5. TELEGRAM_API_HASH - Telegram API_HASH is provided by telegram here

6. After Everything done successfully a part of the actions secrets of the repository may look like
  1. Configuration defined in ENVS in GitHub secrets will override the configuration in .env file. You can use this
fact to define your normal configurations in .env file and sometimes if you want to build something different just once. Add it in GitHub secrets.
  1. Sample Envs
  1. Apprise
We also have apprise support to upload built apk anywhere.To use apprise. Add belows envs in .env file or in ENVS in GitHub secrets (Recommended) in the format
