Screenshots

System Android Version: 10 Custom ROM: Havoc-OS 3.12

microG microG Core version: 0.2.16.204713 (I updated to v0.2.17.204714 after realising i wasnt on latest, still broken) microG Self-Check results: All ticked

Additional context

01-23 19:45:49.984 10608 10630 W GooglePlayServicesUtil: Google Play services out of date for com.google.android.youtube.  Requires 210290000 but found 204713032

Hardcoding the version to the required one doesnt fix it, so there seems to be more to it than just bumping the version number

There is also this logcat output which might also be related to it:

@mar-v-in This is really a terrible bug. 😕

Fixed in Youtube 16.08 and Music 4.18.

@BlackXS @X0Predator Can you guys plz stop talking here, this is not for Vanced support. Plz don’t talk here unless you are giving a way to patch this particular bug in MicroG from MicroG Project.

ghost on Mar 12, 2021

I can confirm the issue is not related to version code, bumping it does not fix the issue, also if you update from for example 15.50 or earlier to 16.X then the infinite loading issue will not occur.

KevinX8 on Jan 23, 2021

I’m not sure why you guys think this is the right place to get help with Vanced related things. This is the upstream microg repository and has nothing to do with Vanced. Please stop turning this into some sort of support thread and stay on topic

This is because the issue is not with vanced but with microg.

Workaround:

Install an older Version of Youtube Vanced. I also installed an older version of MicroG but i dont know if this was necessary, bud i did it anyways.

I tried this method but it is doesn’t allow to swich account. This can be a real bummer for those who have more than 1 account.
