You'll first want to install sidestore or sidestore + livecontainer. Computer needed for that. You'll also want a stock YouTube ipa file that you can then mod with YouTube Plus or similar utility. You'll have to update livecontainer (if you installed it) and YouTube every 7 days unless you have a dev license but Sidestore does it with a single button press in-app so it's not that inconvenient. You can install ipas within sidestore (limited amount at a time) or livecontainer (as many as you want I believe, but it's more complicated) without connecting to a computer once the initial setup is done permalink fedilink source parent [+] workgood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] hietsu@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 months ago For us advanced users true, but for the bulk of people where ”just use this app instead” has worked previously, will not do it anymore.
