Posting here since the boost sub on Reddit is completely locked.

As of a few hours ago the Boost for reddit app is giving me 403 errors and won't load anything at all. I've been continuing to use Boost for Reddit since the app-ocolypse since im a mod. But it seems like it might actually be dead now?

Can anyone else confirm?

Did revanced manager change? I just downloaded the latest version on my new phone and I don't have the ability to patch an app not listed?

Cant really say anything about this. I have 1.23.3. It worked on this version for me. I dont know if its the latest one or one of the older versions

Apparently there are two ReVanced manager apps... I was looking for the one on youtubevanced.gg and not revnced.net...

Replying to this for visibility. This worked for me. Took less then 5 minutes.

Thank you so much!

Bug report is getting a little spicy.

Kinda crazy the devs shut down wchill's patches and insist on the more fragile "lets generate a random user agent".

The redirect URL and user agent manual spoof is much more reliable because at least it really does look like someone's custom app, and closes options for them in the future to block it again.

Not working for me sadly.

Initially it also only partially worked for me (couldnt login) bcz i had a mistake in authentication url. Later i followed the guide precisely step by step and it worked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 minutes ago

Oh, yep! Just got it to work too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I followed the guide step by step and i still get 403 blocked. The faq says I've messed up the user agent text but I've copy paste it directly from the guide and only changed my username.

android:com.username.reddit:v1.0 (by /u/username) (using my own username)

So it looks like that android:com.MyName.reddit:v1.0 (by /u/MyName

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 minutes ago

You'd want something like this:

android:com.username.reddit:v1.0 (by /u/Kon)

Don't change that first username
