No luck on that either, but it's a different snag:

I tried it on my phone, I downloaded the apk, then opened up the revanced manager app and patched it, but it wouldn't install. I tried again but instead saved the patched apk to my device, then installed it from there. That seemed to work for me.

Considering the Pixel 8 is significantly newer than my Samsung Galaxy S10e I think it should definitely be possible to get it to work. I ran into trouble as well due to downloading the wrong APK, and another time because I didn't really understand what ReVanced was doing so I screwed up the correct procedure.

If I recall correctly,

  • Download the APK it recommends
  • Patch it
  • Save the patched APK by tapping the save button on the bottom left (?)
  • Install via the patched APK
  • Launch the actually patched app and not the original one ๐Ÿ™ƒ
