YT Music fails to patch (Manager v1.6.1)

I kept getting an issue where youtube would stop buffering after around one minute and so went to update the manager and then re-install YT and YT Music. I did that just fine with YT and the issue seems to be gone (though I've only barely tested it, but regardless that's not the issue at hand). However, YT Music fails to patch. All the patches appear to go through ("Applied"), but an error occurs on "Compiling resources".

I've tried 3 of the latest YT Music apks to patch.

Here's the error:

  • Patch works on YT Music apk v6.10.52

    Thanks to u/Bceez1 on Reddit for the answer.

  • happens to me all the time too, from my experience its by chance i tried adding the same patches to the same apk, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. if youre feeling like its failing too much to be luck clear cache or something.

    • The log indicates that you're using version 6.13.52 but the issue is that the apktool used by ReVanced doesn't yet support a material 3 color that's included in that version (Also the reason why Youtube ReVanced has been stuck on v18.23.35 for ages now). To patch yt music please use v6.10.52.
