To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus
2. Build an app using instructions from here https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus/wiki/Building (you can find decrypted youtube ipa 19.08.2 here https://github.com/qnblackcat/Decrypted-IPAs)

Got the same on jailbroken version on his repo.

Now it won’t crash but the plugin is not working, it doesn’t show the colors on the timeline of the videos and it’s not skipping the content.
EDIT: iPhone 15 pro max on iOS 17.4 - using latest YTLitePlus

using a mod and leaving a report to the original repo is not the best idea

looks like they just use isb directly. make sure your isb enabled in its settings

I'm experiencing crashes on uYouPlus due to iSponsorBlock. The issue can be referenced here: qnblackcat/uYouPlus#1361

[dayanch96]

Looks like there something new in notched devices interface. I cant test it since i have only 4.7 inch device

[enriicsolaa]

Compiled and tested the latest commit #111 and nothing else. The error keeps appearing.
Tested in iPhone 15 pro - 17.1.1, latest IPA decrypted by me v19.10.7, tried injected with ellekit, substitute and substrate. Nothing else.
Tested in jailbroken iPhone 8 - 16.7.2, w/palera1n rootless, YT app from AppStore v19.10.7. Tested with the latest build available in the official repo, and works fine without crashes in no notched/dynamic island phone. The same with my own compiled build with the latest commit.

In the two cases used the latest Alderis build from Chariz repo.
So sorry... I can't test anymore. My unique notched/dynamic island phone is the ip15pro and it's in a non-exploitable version.

(From ignorance), it seems like a bug that has to do with screen resolutions with notch and dynamic island.
It only occurs when you have started using the tweak for the first time a while ago, and after this, when watching a video (the shorts work perfectly), the app crashes.

I hope my little analysis can help in some way :)

EDIT: The error now appears in the iPhone 8. Maybe is not a isolated error from notched/dynamic island devices.

Ok rolled back to an old version of YT and this is not happening anymore so they broke it with the latest versions only. I will stay there till it’s fixed ✌️

[PavelMasuk]

@skinnyceps could You please tell what YT version You are using? And did You research what is the latest working version?

Idk the latest version working rn, on 19.02.01 it’s working, I had that IPA saved tried to see if it would works and it works

[dayanch96]

its not solution but workaround, you can spoof version to 18.x.x and it should work

%hook YTVersionUtils
+ (NSString *)appVersion {
    return @"18.18.2";
}
%end

PS: As far as I know problem in new interface but can’t test it since I don’t have notched device. This issue doesn’t occur on 4.7inch devices

[huandney]

I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence, but today I updated YTLitePlus to version 19.10.7 and YouTube started crashing. I reverted back to several older versions, and the problem with iSponsorBlock activated occurs in all the tested versions even after downgrading, on my iPhone 15 Pro. Curiously, I hadn’t had this problem before.

[skinnyceps]

@huandney try the version I posted above, it works for me

Headers needed? (I'm very newbie in theos)

Thank You so much, it actually works! Not gonna close the issue since the bug is not fixed yet and this workaround can break with future versions but i guess we can use it for now.

Also getting this on uYou 19.10.7_3.0.3, iPhone 13 Pro, 15.4.1. Will downgrade YouTube for now.

I find a solution in r/sideload. A user proposed this:

Hi everyone! I’ve managed to find a fix so the SponsorBlock works on the latest version:

Disable SponsorBlock exit the YouTube app, go back to the YouTube app and play any video and while the video is playing minimize the video by swiping down on the video so it goes in the MiniPlayer mode at the bottom of the app and then enable sponsorblock again (while the video is playing) then exit the yt app and voila SponsorBlock is working again. If after doing all these steps the SponsorBlock doesn’t start showing in the seek bar just exit the app couple of times and it should work.

Didn’t work for me unfortunately. Just instantly crashes when playing a video again. :(

Fixed. re-build using latest commit and enjoy

Forgive my ignorance I’m new to GitHub, but how do I rebuild with this? I’ve forked your repo but there are no build actions in the actions page like there are with uYou. Sorry if I’m being dumb
