## 2 Is ReVanced available on iOS or TV?

## 7 Does ReVanced always stay up to date with X?

ReVanced Patcher allows you to use patches on any app version. However, please note that patches may not work if you're not using the versions suggested by ReVanced Manager.

## 8 What patches exist?

You can check supported apps and their patches on the [ReVanced Website](https://revanced.app/patches).

## 9 Where to get (full) APKs

You can get (full) APKs from sites such as [APKMirror](https://www.apkmirror.com/) or [APKPure](https://apkpure.net/de). An APK ends with the extension `.apk`.

If only split apks are available (`apkm` or `xapk` files), then tools like [AntiSplit M](https://github.com/AbdurazaaqMohammed/AntiSplit-M) can convert `apkm`/`xapk` of your device architecture to regular `apk` for use with ReVanced Manager.

## 10 Capture logs 

1. (Only if the setting exists) Turn on `Miscellaneous > Debugging > Debug logging` in the settings (Ensure you have included the `Enable debugging` patch).  
2. Install the [Android developer tools](https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools) on a computer, open a command prompt, and capture the logs using the command `adb logcat | grep revanced:` or `adb logcat | grep AndroidRuntime` for app crash logs. to save the logs to a file use  `adb logcat | grep revanced > logs.txt` or `adb logcat | grep AndroidRuntime > logs.txt`
4. Alternatively, you can use any Android app capable of [capturing logs](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dp.logcatapp) (to use these apps a one time setup is required using a computer and ADB).
5. Alternatively, in YouTube you can copy the most recent logs directly from the Debug settings menu (due to clipboard limitations the log is limited to the most recent log data). No ADB or computer setup is required.
