ModMyuTube

This script allows you to apply mods to an original YouTube IPA file.

Made by Kleo08s • Improved by ddevid_.1

Warning

For legal reasons we do not provide the original YouTube IPA, you should search for it by yourself. Without the IPA you can't use this script.

How does it work?

Note

This script uses YTLite as main mod. Credits of the other mods are included below. Give the repo a star, it's really cool.

The script decompresses the original YouTube IPA file, applies the mods, and then recompresses it into a new IPA file using the cyan tool.

Supported Operating Systems

• ✅ Linux
• ✅ macOS
• ❌ Windows (not supported)

Warning

Windows is not supported. If you want to use the script on Windows you should install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and run the script from there.

Requirements

The script automatically installs missing dependencies on first run. Required dependencies include:

• git: Version control system
• cyan (pyzule-rw): Tool used to compress the modified files back into an IPA file
• requests: Python library used to download the mods
• tkinter: Python library used to select the IPA using a GUI

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ModMyuTube.git
cd ModMyuTube

2. Install Python requirements:

3. Configure the following options:

   • Tweak version (default: 5.2b4)
   • App name (default: YouTube)
   • Bundle ID (default: com.google.ios.youtube)

4. Wait for the script to download mods and build the modified IPA

5. The final IPA will be saved as YouTubePlus_<version>.ipa in your current directory

Note

When opening YouTube for the first time, you may see "Incompatible Tweaks Detected". Select "Don't Show for This Version" and "I Accept All Risks" to proceed.

Troubleshooting

Dependencies not installing automatically

If automatic dependency installation fails, install them manually:

• Linux: sudo apt install git python3-pip && pip3 install --user --break-system-packages setuptools
• macOS: brew install git python3

cyan command not found

The script automatically adds ~/.local/bin to PATH during runtime. If issues persist, add it permanently:

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

IPA not being created

Check the error output from cyan. Common issues:

• Corrupted original IPA file
• Insufficient disk space
• Missing dependencies
