Does this mean the end for YouTube Revanced on Android?

not necessarily. the developer needs to sign the APK with a key issued by Google. the main issue here is that developers will be forced to identify themselves.

So the users will have to get their own key and give it to the patcher/manager?

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

im guessing the two possibilities are:

the developer signs the apk with their developer key
the user compiles an apk from the source code and signs it with their developer key

someone correct me if im wrong
