Where Are Official ReVanced Sources?
The ReVanced project publishes its releases through GitHub. The repositories you will actually use:
- ReVanced Manager - the main patching app
- ReVanced Patches - the modification patches themselves
- GmsCore - the Google account helper for non-root installs
- ReVanced CLI - command-line patching tools
To download ReVanced tools, open the official ReVanced GitHub organization and go to the release page of the repository you need.
How to Verify a Source
- Confirm the repository belongs to the official ReVanced organization on GitHub
- Check the star count and contributor activity
- Compare APK signatures against known official signatures
- Match the release date and version against the published release history
- Read the repository's README and documentation
Red Flags for Fake ReVanced Download Pages
- Sites offering "prebuilt ReVanced APKs" (the app is meant to be patched locally)
- Sites presenting themselves as the "official ReVanced download"
- Aggressive download buttons and heavy advertising
- Version numbers that match no official release
- Requests for permissions a download page has no business asking for
The Difference Between Manager and Prebuilt APKs
The official model is Manager-based patching: you get ReVanced Manager, provide a base app, and patch it on your device. A site handing out ready-to-install "ReVanced YouTube APKs" is working outside that model, and you have no way to know what was changed in the file.
Frequently Asked Questions
ReVanced Manager is an APK you install, but the patched YouTube app is built locally on your device. The project does not distribute prebuilt modified APKs.
Yes. ReVanced is an open-source community project, and the Manager, patches, and tools cost nothing.
