bug(Instagram - Hide navigation buttons): App crashes on startup

[Sourav0357]

Bug description

When i patch with these (Screenshot) 4 patches, the app crashes on startup. But when I select all 6 patches, there is no issue of crashing. I am not that into tech, that's why I am not able to give crash log. Someone try to patch with these four patches & share the crash log.

Note: App crash issue is occurring when you specifically select mentioned four patches.

you probably excluded the Disable signature check patch at one point, this is crucial for revanced instagram to run

i see you're using the 399.0.0.51.85 version, how about trying to patch the 398.1.0.53.77 from apkmirror?

[Sourav0357]

Check, this issue occurred after recent patch update, crash specially happens when u select those 4 patches, try by yourself if possible & share the crash log. No crash issue when u select all patches.

[jpa102]

cannot exactly reproduce on my end, just tried the exact same instagram version and the patches selection from the screenshots in your main issue (not from your reply) and it did not crash on startup (samsung galaxy m12, with patches 5.41.0 version)

about the Hide navigation buttons patch, did you enable one of the 2 options inside? i included it but did not enable the 2 options

where exactly did you get your instagram from? i just got mine from apkmirror with this specific bundle, processed with antisplit-m for the apk

---

i'm now going to try the exact instagram version from your reply (Hide navigation buttons patch will have the 2 options enabled)

[Sourav0357]

I enabled 2 options inside the hide navigation buttons patch. Apk is installed using apkmirror and antisplit m. Retry enabling 2 options inside the patch. My device is iQOO Neo 7 Pro.

@Sourav0357 please use a computer, install adb, and capture the crash logs.

Thank you, tried installing adb to get the crash log, but my device is not able to connect to adb (no adb device found issue), wasted 3 hours on this adb 😅

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

Issue should be fixed with v5.42.0-dev.2.

[jpa102]

before i patched it with the dev pre-release, i tried once more with the 5.41.0 version for 399.0.0.51.85 but including all of the standard patches (6 in total) and it did not crash. strange why including the Hide Stories from Home and Limit feed to followed profiles patches makes it run with no problems (not really sure about this)

patching with the pre-release resolves the issue (same 4 patches included)

^{revanced manager is used in the patching process}
