bug(TikTok): Replies are not synced between servers and they're not visible to other users

[Susheate]

Bug description

Hello, when I replie to a comment or heart a replie, the interaction is visible for me only. I figured that the replies are appearing one day after sending them, and if a picture is linked with them (not sure of the second information).

Error logs

logcat | grep AndroidRuntime command doesn't work using Termux.

Solution

I don't have any solution.

Additional context

I use the recommended version for patching

How do you know it appears after one day?

[Susheate]

I checked with an alt on the tiktok website to see if comments were appearing, I'm still not sure of the amount of time. Maybe it's due to a detection of the patch, which would act like that.

[oSumAtrIX]

Please check if the issue occurs on the unpatched app, if it does not record a video showing the difference between the patched and unpatched app.

[Susheate]

Ok I'm going to do that

Sorry for my poor editing skills

[Susheate]

If the video isn't clear, I can record a new one.

@oSumAtrIX Could be caused by modified client and also related to this #2877 (comment) & #2098

@Susheatttttt Please record as requested:

record a video showing the difference between the patched and unpatched app.

[Susheate]

I mean, there's no difference in my side, the only difference is for other users.

[oSumAtrIX]

Please display that difference in the video as requested

I see. So I'll have to use another version I guess

[Susheate]

Please display that difference in the video as requested

On the video you can clearly see that I am replying to a comment, then the view of the second client is clearly showing that the comment to which I responded does not display any reply. The third screen is to prove that the issue is from the patched version, because the unpatched version can actually send visible replies.

[oSumAtrIX]

Please remove all the editing and record it in one take.

Adding onto this, I can confirm it also happens for me. Additionally, aside from replies, liking a comment is also affected. Attached a video below.

Should be fixed with the linked PR. If not, reopen.

@oSumAtrIX
Change version code patch is does not work with TikTok 36.5.4
It give me error like this:

WARNING: E:\ANDROID\APPS\ReVanced\Patched\Install\TikTok_36.5.4-all_ReVanced-temporary-files\patcher\apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\bs6.png: error: failed to read PNG signature: file does not start with PNG signature.
WARNING: E:\ANDROID\APPS\ReVanced\Patched\Install\TikTok_36.5.4-all_ReVanced-temporary-files\patcher\apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\bs6.png: error: file failed to compile.

Then ReVanced CLI is stuck can not finishing the patching process.

Thats why the patch is not enabled by default. Resource patching does not work on TikTok.
