Want to build your own uYouPlus ipa?

I will tell you on how I usually do it to help out the uYou+ Users out there!

Building with Github Actions

1. In order to build the ipa the faster way you must obtain a YouTube ipa. But I’ll help you for the purpose of building the app. and also here’s the selected ipas for the app building.

App IPA Version Number App IPA URL
18.18.2 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/u5jh04qfv0hkvxu/YouTube%20v18.18.2.ipa?dl=0
18.14.1 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/vtcicw0fhu2bhkq/YouTube%20v18.14.1.ipa?dl=0
18.08.1 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3uvwizsxv28nqblu7yuf1/YouTube-v18.08.1.ipa?rlkey=l87prk3n7i60c2s38o1v8o6y1&dl=1

2. but hold on. In order to build it using Actions you will need to Fork this Repository. and then once you do that go into the Repository Settings at the right of your Forked Repository and after go to the Actions Settings and go to General —> Actions > General and then scroll down and you’ll see Workflow Permissions and check if Read and Write permissions is enabled. Once it’s enabled then you’ll be able to build the uYou+ tweak!

3. now with all that out of the way the last step is to go into the Actions In your Forked version of this Repository. Now once you do you should see Build and Release uYouPlusExtra and once you see it click on it and click on Run Workflow that should be noticeable. place one of the ipa urls I showed above and put it under The direct URL to the decrypted YouTube ipa and after that you put the version the url shows for example 18.xx.x in the The version of YouTube and after all these steps hit Run Workflow.

4. you done it! You made your ipa using actions, it will be found in either the Releases Tab or in the Artifacts that are found in Actions > Build and Release uYouPlusExtra #[Number] Tab

Hope this helps you all out, happy building y’all!

Issue: If you plan on using a newer YouTube ipa like v18.15.1+ then don’t. you will have issues with the themes like the option OLED & OLD Dark Mode doesn’t work correctly when turned on and will have some trouble with the YouTube Dark Theme. and also for v18.19.1+ versions the uYou Video Quality options will no longer work. Can’t be fixed until next uYou release.
