While there are better YouTube clients for macOS on Mac App Store, Devs won't put effort to fix its issues.
Please search through MAS for finding another client.

@LilPupGimu @avichou Hiii. So I can across this issue when I initially was looking into this myself, and I figured out a solution (I personally did this for YouTube, but either way, should apply to YouTube Music)

all I did was create a shim for the missing function within AVKit on macOS.

Download the compiled shim here: AVKit.zip.
Open up the ipa and drop AVKit.framework into YouTube Music.app/Frameworks/
You need to change the install name of AVKit within Module_framework to our shim, so cd into YouTube Music.app/Frameworks/Module_Framework.framework/ and run this command:

install_name_tool -change /System/Library/Frameworks/AVKit.framework/AVKit @rpath/AVKit.framework/AVKit “Module_Framework”

Once you resign the app and reinstall, it should no longer crash.

Also, while I’m happy to help, if you don’t know what install_name_tool is or how to install it, please look it up yourself because a google search will give you a good enough answer as any.

P.S

If you were wondering what the “shim” code looks like, this is it:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface AVPictureInPicturePrerollAttributes : NSObject
@end

@implementation AVPictureInPicturePrerollAttributes
@end

compiling that into a framework + these flags did the trick: -current_version 1 -compatibility_version 1 -Xlinker -reexport_library AVKit.tbd

I tried to do that but got prompted with "error: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/install_name_tool: can't open file: “Module_Framework” (No such file or directory)".

searched on google but couldnt find much info about install name tool , expect that there is no need to isntall it (aka it's packed into macOS, if I got it right?).

If you can, i'd very VERY gladly take your youtube.ipa :)

and if you got some spare time (i understand if you don't wanna) , do you think you could do it with youtube Music ? and send the .ipa signed?

i'm not even sure it's gonna work but the reason of why I do this is because im hosptitalized, and the hospital's wifi blocks most songs and youtube videos...but only if you use the site , since every video and song works on phone (using the phone's apps)

got youtube music from here https://decrypt.day/app/id1017492454

really if you don't feel like it I completely understand lol, but I'd definitely take your youtube.ipa if you don't mind...since you already signed it correctly, right?

@avichou Hi, sorry to hear about you being hospitalized, so I did you one better. Other than my YouTube fix, I also have it tweaked to allow signing in (because by default the app signs you out every-time you close and relaunch) and there are no longer any ads. I decrypted the latest version of YouTube and already tested it with my tweaks applied, so all you need to do is sign the ipa.

Here's the link to my version

thank you so much for this ! oh you don't have to be sorry, but thanks for the sentiment :)

unfortunately the app crashes after the second time i open it. besides i wasnt able to go in my library, or in youtube preferences

i really gotta find out how to do this for youtube music, i need music so fucking bad right now, and this wifi blocks all kind of music besides mainstream crap hahaha

do you know of a tutorial of how to do it for noobs(all the stuff you've done with youtube), so that I will be able to tune it for youtube music (and potentially other apps in the future, though at the moment all i need is music rly lol)

I'm glad I was able to help :) and nothing, my .ipa version has a tweak I applied that should preserve when you sign in (usually, every time I quit the app, it signs out of my youtube account) although now that I think about it, I hadn't actually tested it on the version I just sent you. Let me know if the app remains signed in when you quit it, i'd be curious to know whether or not my tweak still works

EDIT: I tested it, quitting the app signs you out every time. oh well, should be fine for your purposes (you could just leave the app open 24/7 to preserve your login)

Thank you so much

Do not hesitate if you want a buck or something , I knew you'd refuse but it's normal in my education to give a little something to strangers who helped us....you tell me

Hello again . Had started writing but Im rly discombobulated... Gaining a lot of energy though . Music and rap sure as hell help pass through these hard moments....

As for the app itself, it works well, thank you ! (you didn't use the latest version tho right ? Doesn't have lice lyrics)

It does sporadically log you out (after a certain time which I haven't defined yet) , and obviously logs you out after you closed the app, too . Otherwise everything works fine (has to be kept in default window size otherwise it goes cray haha )

Rly I'm far from being rich, money is actually one of the issues lol, but if I can just offer you a coffee for your help , just a way to show thankfulness....don't refuse it please :)

@LilPupGimu @avichou Hiii. So I can across this issue when I initially was looking into this myself, and I figured out a solution (I personally did this for YouTube, but either way, should apply to YouTube Music)
all I did was create a shim for the missing function within AVKit on macOS.

Download the compiled shim here: AVKit.zip.

Open up the ipa and drop AVKit.framework into YouTube Music.app/Frameworks/

You need to change the install name of AVKit within Module_framework to our shim, so cd into YouTube Music.app/Frameworks/Module_Framework.framework/ and run this command:
install_name_tool -change /System/Library/Frameworks/AVKit.framework/AVKit @rpath/AVKit.framework/AVKit “Module_Framework”
Once you resign the app and reinstall, it should no longer crash.

Also, while I’m happy to help, if you don’t know what install_name_tool is or how to install it, please look it up yourself because a google search will give you a good enough answer as any.
P.S
If you were wondering what the “shim” code looks like, this is it:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface AVPictureInPicturePrerollAttributes : NSObject
@end

@implementation AVPictureInPicturePrerollAttributes

compiling that into a framework + these flags did the trick: -current_version 1 -compatibility_version 1 -Xlinker -reexport_library AVKit.tbd
I tried to do that but got prompted with "error: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/install_name_tool: can't open file: “Module_Framework” (No such file or directory)".

searched on google but couldnt find much info about install name tool , expect that there is no need to isntall it (aka it's packed into macOS, if I got it right?).

If you can, i'd very VERY gladly take your youtube.ipa :)

and if you got some spare time (i understand if you don't wanna) , do you think you could do it with youtube Music ? and send the .ipa signed?

i'm not even sure it's gonna work but the reason of why I do this is because im hosptitalized, and the hospital's wifi blocks most songs and youtube videos...but only if you use the site , since every video and song works on phone (using the phone's apps)

@avichou Your issue with the command not running is the double quotes in "Module_Framework" being weirdly formatted. Rewrite the quotes and it should run like a charm. macOS sometimes automatically changes the plain double quotes

@LilPupGimu @avichou Hiii. So I can across this issue when I initially was looking into this myself, and I figured out a solution (I personally did this for YouTube, but either way, should apply to YouTube Music)
all I did was create a shim for the missing function within AVKit on macOS.

Download the compiled shim here: AVKit.zip.

Open up the ipa and drop AVKit.framework into YouTube Music.app/Frameworks/

You need to change the install name of AVKit within Module_framework to our shim, so cd into YouTube Music.app/Frameworks/Module_Framework.framework/ and run this command:
install_name_tool -change /System/Library/Frameworks/AVKit.framework/AVKit @rpath/AVKit.framework/AVKit “Module_Framework”
Once you resign the app and reinstall, it should no longer crash.

Also, while I’m happy to help, if you don’t know what install_name_tool is or how to install it, please look it up yourself because a google search will give you a good enough answer as any.
P.S
If you were wondering what the “shim” code looks like, this is it:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface AVPictureInPicturePrerollAttributes : NSObject
@end

@implementation AVPictureInPicturePrerollAttributes
@end

Just want to add this method didn't work on Youtube Music not just because of the quotes, but also that YouTube Music.app/Frameworks/Module_Framework.framework/ does not exist under YouTube Music.app/Frameworks/ .

@neilyhy do everything I said in my instructions but replace the Module_framework path with the main YouTubeMusic binary instead:

install_name_tool -change /System/Library/Frameworks/AVKit.framework/AVKit @rpath/AVKit.framework/AVKit “full/path/to/your/YouTube Music.app/YouTubeMusic””

thanks so much for this, i have already succesfully installed an older yt music app, but i really want to install a new one. i have done everything here. i have extracted the ipa, copied the framework file, and did the install name tool command with the youtube music binary. but how can i put the whole payload folder back to an ipa and resign it so i can install it?

im sorry, if this is a nooby question, but i was searching for days now for a solution to this problem and this is the closest i could get. thank in advance.
