Phone updated to android 16, suggested YouTube version incompatible

[ciper]

Question

On some Android 16 devices the suggested version of YouTube linked by revanced on apk mirror cannot be installed with "package appears to be invalid" error. Tried alternate versions from various sources and any version of YouTube below 20.34.37 cannot be installed with the same "package appears to be invalid" error.

I have seen discussions on reddit where some people had the same issue while others on android 16 were able to successfully use the suggested 20.14.43 version. I'm very curious why this only affects some people.

If it matters I have a Oneplus 12r on android 16 with the latest official firmware named cph2611_16.0.1. 300(ex01)
Thanks for your advice.

You changed manager settings. Reset to default and try again

I have tried a full removal of Revanced and removed YouTube using "pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.youtube" and it still won't allow older versions of YouTube to install. I don't believe this is related to Revanced and has something to do with the latest version of android

Completely removing YouTube from the system and only installing a patched version of YouTube Vanced fails to open once finished. There is definitely some incompatibility with the Revanced chosen version of YouTube and some new versions of android
