Known issues
- YouTube Reborn:
-
Downloading videos/audio not working. (probably a Client-Side change, don't know why this happened.)
-
The Colour Options not working in the YouTube App when using YouTube v18.15.1 & newer versions.
-
LowContrastMode: this tweak doesn't work correctly with the ui on v17.39.4 or later versions of the YouTube App. [WORKAROUND - go to
Settings > YouTubeRebornPlus > Miscellaneous > Enable App Version Spoofer
and go toVersion Spoofer Picker
and selectv17.38.10
] -
YTSpeed: this tweak doesn't show playback speed controls in the v18.19.1 or later versions of the YouTube App. [WORKAROUND - go to
Settings > YouTubeRebornPlus > Miscellaneous > Enable App Version Spoofer
and go toVersion Spoofer Picker
and selectv18.18.2
] -
YTClassicVideoQuality: this tweak that shows the old video quality menu has stopped working on v18.19.1 or later versions of the YouTube App. [WORKAROUND - read YTSpeed's workaround above]
-
YTUHD: Stuttering on 4K videos.
-
YouPiP (iOS 14.0 - 14.4.2): due to Apple's fault, you may encounter the speedup-bug as described here. The bug also happens when you try to play multi-sources of sound at the same time. Enable LegacyPiP is a workaround. Keep in mind that LegacyPiP also removes UHD quality and breaks YouTube Autoplay next. Use it at your own risk!
-
Not a bug:
-
The app won't be able to receive push notifications if you use a free developer account to sideload it.
-
It's impossible to fix deep-link (a.k.a Open in the YouTube app). However, you can use this Shortcuts as a workaround (tested on iOS 14). Credit: RandomAccessMemories#5025
Download (IPA)
-
YouTubeRebornPlus (or you can call it YouTubeReborn+) requires iOS & iPadOS 14.0 and later. The latest version of YouTubeRebornPlus can be found in the Release tab.
-
For AltStore user: Open in AltStore (v18.25.1-4.1.1) - It will take a while to install because AltStore needs to download the IPA first.
-
Version info: (July 2nd 2023)
