[SOLUTION] Unknown error / Song not playing / Youtube API broken

[ThomasBaruzier]

Hello,

I fixed this issue by building the project myself, since the debug version is so slow it's unusable.

To compile your own version of Innertune:

• Download android studio on your computer. https://developer.android.com/studio
• Download or clone this repository. https://github.com/z-huang/InnerTune/archive/refs/heads/dev.zip
• Unzip the project if zipped
• Open the project in android-studio
• Click the menu button on the top left corner, then the Build tab, then the Generate Signed App Bundle / APK
• Select the APK option, then Next
• If you already have a signing key, use it by providing your password for it. If not, proceed with Create New. Only the path, alias, and passwords are important, everything else can be made up. When you are done, click Next
• Select the fossRelease build target, then click the Create button
• Wait for 1-10 minutes
• If you have a notification on the bottom right corner with the title Generate signed APK with a locate button, click it
• The APK file is now shown in your default file explorer. You can transfer it to your phone by USB, email, anything that works for you.
• Create a backup of your current InnerTune App in the settings.
• Only after making a backup, uninstall the current Innertune app
• Locate your self made APK, install it like any other APK.
• Open the app, load your backup from the settings.
• For me, everything worked from here. If this isn't the case for you, try logging in or out of your throwaway google account. Some people found success logging in and signing out before exiting the logging process. Do not hesitate to comment what worked for you.
• Lastly, NEVER INSTALL SOMEONE ELSE'S APK (for obvious security reasons, this is why you need to do this yourself)

Hope this helps. Have a nice day everyone.

Debug version works perfectly for me, and is fast too.

I even spent half the day following GPT's instructions, and there's still an unknown error. 😓

Maybe I didn't follow the signing steps.I choose Build app ,But I followed your steps again, and it still didn't work. I found a useful answer from someone else.Thank you very much for your reply
