Damn, even some low-key projects like iVanced were hit. I doubt this spells the end of third party apps but they'll probably go the way of being distributed on various russian download forums or telegram instead.

What are the best channels or telegram groups?

Just iOS? What bout Android?

Seems that the DMCA only concerns distributing the modified ipa and not the patches themselves and most android projects don't distribute apk, only the patches so they should be fine. Tho I will still run through and clone all the revanced repos.

YouTube Vanced was DMCA'd because they distributed the whole apk, which is why Revanced exists and only applies patches to a YouTube apk you have to get yourself

they also got dmca because they called themselves youtube which is why it's just revanced now

[–] Bandicoot_Academic@lemmy.one 4 points 8 months ago

I know. I think revanced will be fine but just in case I'll clone all the revanced repos locally
