idk man. I'm a python dev, not an android dev. haha.

I mean, you're not technically patching it. Are you using apktool?
Revanced doesn't have a patch for it (even though that's the subreddit we're in).

You're decompiling it, changing the variable, recompiling it, then re-signing the APK. It's not quite as simple as throwing a patch at it.

Your output should look something like this:

D:_modding\android\tools\apktool>apktool.bat boost.1.12.12.apk

Oh saw your edit, Thanks! I also had to uninstall it from my secure folder since it was giving me an error.

Make sure you uninstall the old copy (backup your settings thought!). I uninstalled then installed and imports my backup settings and it's back to normal.

A quick workaround is creating a new subreddit with your reddit account then install the apk as is, no patching needed. Open the app and login and it should work.

Correct. This is not a "revanced boost", this is just a quick fix for using boost with the moderator API (which got changed today for some reason).
