I don’t think it matters. ReVanced patches original YouTube so it will use whatever YouTube is using. Even if current YouTube app doesn’t use WebView that’s nothing stopping them from adding it in the future.
If I’m reading article right, Google supposedly “discontinued” the attestation technology in Chrome, because of the shit storm, but looks like they are thinking of adding it to Android and use it to verify the devices and applications are genuine. The YouTube server for example might refuse to serve the video if the application is not genuine.
Can someone confirm whether YouTube ReVanced really uses WebView?
It’s the official app apk with some mods. So probably not.
In that case the premise of the entire article is wrong then.
Google can redesign the official app and kill functionality to the previous version.
