You can now use Sync for Reddit after July 1 using the Spoof client patch with ReVanced!
Follow the instructions in this post.
Troubleshooting:
If your patched app crashes, your APK file may be broken. Check if it does not crash when you don't patch it. If your APK file turns out to be broken, you need to source a working APK from somewhere else.
i know about the dashboard but couldnt find them anywhere
You need to create an app first, go here - https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps

You can find the dashboard by clicking on the "hamburger" icon in the top left-hand corner of the screen.
Here's a step-by-step guide to patching third-party Reddit apps with ReVanced to get around Reddit's API changes: Prerequisites:
ReVanced Manager: Download and install the latest version of ReVanced Manager from their official website or a trusted source.
APK of your Reddit app: Download the APK file of the Reddit app you want to patch from a reliable source like APKMirror. It's generally recommended to use a version that's one or two releases behind the latest one, as very recent versions might not be compatible with ReVanced yet.
Steps:
Create a Reddit App:
Go to this website: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/
Log in to your Reddit account.
Click on "are you a developer? create an app..."
Give your app a name (it can be anything).
Select "installed app" as the type.
Crucial Step: In the "redirect uri" field, enter the correct redirect URL for your chosen Reddit app. I provided a list in my previous response. Make sure it's accurate!
Click "create app."
Copy the "client ID" that's generated—you'll need it later.
Patch the App with ReVanced Manager:
Open ReVanced Manager.
Tap "Patcher," then "Select an application."
Tap the storage icon and select the APK file you downloaded.
Tap "Next" and wait for the app to be processed.
On the "Select Patches" screen, choose "Default."
Tap "Next" and select "Spoof client."
Crucial Step: In the "Client ID" field, paste the client ID you copied earlier.
Tap "Patch" and wait for the process to complete.
Install the Patched APK:
Once patching is finished, install the patched APK. You might need to allow installation from unknown sources in your Android settings.
If you have the original version of the app installed, uninstall it first.
Log in and Enjoy:
Open the patched Reddit app and log in. You should be able to use it without any issues!
Important Notes:
Redirect URI is Key: The redirect URI needs to be an exact match. Double-check for typos!
App Updates: If your app updates automatically, you might need to repeat this process with the newer APK. You can usually disable automatic updates in the app's settings.
Troubleshooting: If you encounter problems, try these:
Clear the cache and data for ReVanced Manager.
Use a slightly older version of the Reddit app APK.
Check the ReVanced subreddit or Discord for
IHere's a list of common redirect URLs for popular Reddit clients, along with some important notes: Important Notes:
Case Sensitivity: These URLs are case-sensitive, so make sure you enter them exactly as shown.
"http" or "https": Reddit now requires redirect URLs to start with http:// or https://. Some older guides may list different formats, but those are likely outdated.
App-Specific Instructions: Always check for any specific instructions or updated URLs provided by your chosen Reddit client. Redirect URLs:
BaconReader: http://baconreader.com/auth
Boost for Reddit: http://rubenmayayo.com
Infinity for Reddit: https://infinity-for-reddit.com/
Joey for Reddit: https://127.0.0.1:65023/authorize_callback
Relay for Reddit: dbrady://relay
Reddit is Fun: redditisfun://auth
Slide for Reddit: http://www.ccrama.me
Sync for Reddit: http://redditsync/auth
Troubleshooting:
Invalid Redirect URI Error: If you encounter this error, double-check the URL for typos and case sensitivity. Also, make sure you're using the most up-to-date URL from your app's documentation.
ReVanced Issues: If you're using ReVanced, ensure you have the latest version and follow their specific instructions for patching your Reddit app and setting up the client ID.
⚠️ This guide may only work for Infinity for Reddit+. For Boost, use u/wchill*'s guide:* https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/1pjl5en/comment/nte9t5e/
Part 1:
Install the original, non-modified version of Infinity. Using Infinity for this part is required. You can pick your desired client on Part 2.
Click the hamburger (three line) icon, click "Press here to login", then click "Add an account".
Login to your account and allow the client to access your account. (If it prompts you to buy a subscription after clicking "Accept", just close the app)
You should now receive an email after allowing the client. Copy the "App ID" string from the email.
Uninstall Infinity.
Part 2: Patch configurations
Open the ReVanced app.
Tap "Patcher", then "Select an application".
Tap the "Storage" button and select your desired client's (doesn't have to be Infinity) APK file.
Tap "Selected patches" and make sure the two patches are checked.
Click the settings button beside the "Spoof client" patch.
Replace "null" with your "App ID" key. The App ID in the email is *universal*, meaning you can use it for any client, not just Infinity. (yes, "App ID" = "Client ID)
Click "Save", then click "Done".
Part 3: Patch, Install, and Login
Click "Patch".
Wait for it to patch. (around 15-20 seconds)
When it finishes, click "Install".
Open the patched app and login. (If login throws an error, try using Proton VPN and use a European country)
Done!
Hey guys!
I've been trying to get a client ID and Secret for a project with PRAW, but the provided link (https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps) doesn't work. Someone experiencing this? Is this link up-to-date or broken?
I can only access a page that says: "Welcome back! You are already logged in and will be redirected back to Reddit shortly. If you are not redirected automatically, follow this link."
Clicking on "this link" does nothing.
Any help appreciated. Thank you :D
Patch your favorite third-party Reddit app using ReVanced
Use the Spoof client patch for your third-party Reddit client, using ReVanced Manager following the ReVanced Manager documentation.
Create an OAuth application here with the application type and exact redirecting URI that is mentioned in the description of the client ID option of the patch.
Finally, set the client ID in the patch option of the Spoof client patch and proceed with patching your your third-party Reddit client.
Troubleshooting
-
If the patched app does not work as expected, please ensure that the redirect URI matches the one mentioned in the
Spoof clientpatch description. -
If the patched app crashes, your APK file may be broken. Verify it installs and runs correctly without patching it. If it does not, you must source a working APK file from a different place.
Tryna use revamped to patch.Everything seems easy up to the point about this 0Auth client ID. went to the site the page says and its just the reddit.com/prefs/apps but i dont really see anything i can do.
Is it just a code i have to paste into the box?
Pls can someone one explain me. Thank you
ReVanced updated it's stable release patches. Now you can patch Infinity again to use with your own api key. https://github.com/revanced/revanced-patches/releases/tag/v2.181.0
My aim is to access some data in my personal gsheets using python (ios). To do this I created a new project in GCP (google cloud platform). And when I needed to create credentials to access the gsheet there were three options.
API Keys -> not relevant
OAuth 2.0 Client IDs > google recommended because they say the service account is less secure.
Service Account > most tutorials use this
Confusion: I’ve used Google’s Python Quickstart for ghseets to use OAuth 2.0 Credentials to access gsheets. In the end it still used a JSON file saved on my laptop (just like a service account) to access gsheets. So why is it “more secure” if it also uses a JSON file that needs secure storage. This is what I am confused about. And it may suggest that I’m doing something wrong.
Apologies if the answer is obvious. I'm new to this and could not for the life of me figure it out. Thanks!!!
THE GUIDE MADE BELOW IS AN OUTDATED METHOD, PLEASE REFER TO DOCUMENT LINKED IN POST
With ReVanced, you can now patch your third party Reddit app using the change-oauth-client-id patch.
To use this patch, you must get a client ID here.
The application type has to be set to "Installed app"
Depending on your third party Reddit app, the redirect URI has to be set to one of the following:
BaconReader:
http://baconreader.com/authBoost for Reddit:
http://rubenmayayo.comInfinity for Reddit:
infinity://localhostJoey:
https://127.0.0.1:65023/authorize_callbackRelay for Reddit:
dbrady://relayRedditIsFun:
redditisfun://authSlide for Reddit:
http://www.ccrama.meSync for Reddit:
http://redditsync/auth
Yes the Pro/Premium, Developer variants work too.
Once you create the OAuth application, create the file reddit_client_id_revanced.txt under directory /storage/emulated/0/ (aka Internal Storage) with the client ID as its content, which should look something like: nIH87_KcQoL-1HO5gBpRFA. Alternatively, you can provide the client ID using patch options.
Go to document now for further instruction
Troubleshooting:
In case the patching of the app does not work as expected, make sure that the redirect URI matches exactly one of the above.
In case the install of the patched app fails, make sure you have the APK of the stock app you've patched first before installing the patched application. Make sure to uninstall the stock app before you install the patched one. You can export the APK by pressing the 3 dots in top right corner after the app is finished being patched.
Sometimes, force stopping and clearing the cache of ReVanced Manager will fix other errors that you might have experienced. As well as disabling and re-enabling the storage permission for the Manager.
Some errors are caused by certain releases of the 3rd party app you're trying to patch, if this is the case I recommend you consult the guide by Kobe below where he gives links to where you can safely get a working APK that can be patched. Despite this, please remember it's of your own volition to install applications from places other than the major trusted sources like the Play Store, APKMirror or F-Droid.
