These are the apps that I've noticed they've added support for so far. (Edit: Baconreader too.)

For those unfamiliar, you can patch these existing apps with your own oauth-client-id to continue using them.

Quick tutorial:

Navigate to /prefs/apps
Create a new app, name it whatever you want, tick "Installed App" and fill in the redirect uri field. e.g. In rif's case, it would be

redditisfun://auth

You can find what redirect URI you need by looking through the readme on the patches on Github (under the corresponding app in the Details section).

Copy the client ID string that appears in the app you just made, create a text document named reddit_client_id_revanced.txt and put it on the root of your phone's storage (/storage/emulated/0/<file here>) with that key in it.

Install the newest version of ReVanced Manager on your device, tap the Patcher tab, tap your app. Once again, make sure you're using the newest version of ReVanced Manager.

In the Patches section, tick the "Change Oauth Client Id" patch.

Patch and install (note that if you're using an app that's already installed, you might have to delete it before clicking Install once Revanced is done creating the new ask.)

Should be good to go from there.

One extra note I'll add is that you should export your app's settings if it's an option before erasing it and installing the newly patched version. rif has an option for this in Settings > Backup > Export settings (unsure about other apps, I've used nothing but rif for 10+ years lol)

Extra help can probably be found on ReVanced's Discord server if you need it.

You got a little typo in the second step, it's supposed to say:

redditisfun://auth

But works fine otherwise!

Thank you. I'll correct it!
