uDrop born as private C# project, under the name of uPatcher, in mid-2022, after the Vanced Team closure.
Its main goal was (and still be) the creation of a modded YouTube app, based on my personal vision of few, but essentially, mods (some also developed by me), in order to make the app decently usable. In practice: the Stock version that never has been. 😁
uDrop follows the old philosophy of Vanced Team to build their mods, i.e. exactly via a Windows machine with a dedicated C# project.
In the end, uDrop doesn't want to compete with ReVanced (it wouldn't be possible in any case, due to its different operating mechanisms), but simply to be an Open Source dedication to the past work of Vanced Team (and, first of all, my personal patcher with which I can try the new beta versions of YouTube with minimal effort).

Before use the modded YouTube client, ensure to install MicroG from Revanced Team repository. This is the only version of MicroG which I personally tested and that (at least on my devices) doesn't give any problem related to poor performance or battery drain.

This project was originally designed to remain private, and has therefore always remained without documentation... which will never get, because my free time only allows me to work on the mods code.
If you want to improve this project, make sure to create and work on a new main branch based.
