This guide is not for patching the regular Reddit app. It is only for patching 3rd party Reddit clients (Sync, Infinity, RIF, etc.)
-
If needed, you can ask for assistance in the ReVanced Discord, Subreddit, or Telegram. There is also troubleshooting info at the end of this guide
1. Go to this page (and sign in to the Reddit account you want to use).
2. Select are you a developer? Create an app.
3. Enter an app name (it doesn't matter what you call it).
4. Set the type to "installed app".
Warning
Don't add a description or about url.
5. Set the redirect uri according to this table:
| App | Redirect URI |
|---|---|
| Sync | http://redditsync/auth |
| Infinity | infinity://localhost |
| RIF | redditisfun://auth |
| Boost | http://rubenmayayo.com |
| Relay | dbrady://relay |
| Slide | http://www.ccrama.me |
| BaconReader | http://baconreader.com/auth |
| Joey | https://127.0.0.1:65023/authorize_callback |
6. Press create app.
7. Copy the client ID, which is directly under the app name. Save it in your clipboard. You'll need it soon.
Tip
If you want to be able to sign in to the patched app with Reddit accounts aside from the one tied to the client ID, you must add the accounts as developers to the application you just made.
To add a developer, edit the application and enter the account username in the add developer: field. Press Enter on your keyboard and then press the update app button.
1. Uninstall the official version of the app you will patch.
Example: If you have Sync installed and are about to patch Sync, uninstall the Sync app.
Tip
Remember to export your settings configuration before uninstalling (if your Reddit client has the option).
2. Install (or update to) the latest version of the ReVanced Manager.
3. Download (but do not install) an APK of the app you want to patch using the link:
-
Info for Infinity users
I haven't tested any Infinity version newer than the specific one linked above, but newer versions may work too. If you want to try patching the latest version, you can find and download it from apkmirror.com or GitHub. When downloading from apkmirror, make sure the variant you download is not the bundle variant, which is an
apkmfile instead of anapk. When downloading from GitHub, do not download the Patreon build. Lastly, during patching, be sure to look at the patch log to ensure that the patches apply successfully.
Warning
Do not install the APK after you download it.
4. Launch the ReVanced Manager > Patcher > Select an application.
5. Press the Storage button and then select the APK file that you downloaded.
6. Tap on the Selected patches card.
7. Press the Default button and then press the ⚙️ icon by the "Spoof client" patch.
8. Enter the client ID that you copied earlier and then press Save. Make sure there are no extra spaces.
9. Press Done and then Patch, and then wait for it to finish.
10. After patching is complete, press the Install button.
Important
If you get a popup from Google Play Protect while installing, press More details and then press Install anyway.
Tip
If you want to save or share the patched APK file, you can export it by using the save button in the bottom left corner (opposite the Install button).
Done!
If you get the error pictured above, enter your username and password manually instead of pasting or auto-entering them.
Sign-in errors usually mean that something is wrong with your client ID configuration. Below are some common mistakes.
Note
If you are certain that none of the issues below apply to you, create a new client ID and try again from scratch, or ask for assistance in the ReVanced Discord, Subreddit, or Telegram.
a) The redirect uri is not EXACTLY the same as in the table above. Correct the issue here.
Tip
Check if in the redirect uri you put https instead of http (or vice versa), a capital letter, an extra /, etc.
b) The app type is not set to installed app. Correct the issue here.
c) You accidentally added an extra space when entering the client ID in the ReVanced Manager. You must repatch, but you don't need to set up a new client ID.
d) The redirect uri is set for the wrong app. Correct the issue here.
Example: It is set to
http://redditsync/autheven though the client ID will be used for an app other than Sync.
