The patches keep themselves up to date, and I have to hit the update buttons manually for the revanced manager itself, but the YouTube app I get told "this is a split apk" and apparently you can only mess with those on RvM if your device is rooted, according to the popup.
I just have to find the recommended app version on apkmirror and choose my patches if they haven't saved from the previous time.
It's just a little annoying to have to find the apk and do all the extra steps, but that's what I get for not rooting. Partly because the phone is still under warranty and partly because I don't trust myself to not brick it.
Even with every negative piling on at once, it's still lightyears ahead of youtube base. And it's not bad by any stretch. All the negatives I've experienced are partly my own doing.
Hmm, maybe ReVancedExtended would solve your problems? I know my RvM has no issues with custom patches even without root, but it might just be a device/os version weirdness. I've heard RvX is overall better with the non-root support, but I've never used it personally
