Same issue for me. Seems to be happening with anything newer than 9.50 twitter.

Has the problem been fixed?

[dvvmvp]

I've got the same problem (A13, Nov patch). The latest Twitter version that was working fine is 9.63.

[quyleanh]

Same here... I tried many version but it still doesn't work. Looking forward to getting support this patch.

[ciltocruz]

Same for me.

Twitter v9.68.1 Pixel 6a

[pratyakshm]

I've been facing the same issue. Android 13 Twitter version 9.69.1-release.0 ReVanced Manager version 0.0.52

[pratyakshm]

What's with all the comments also reporting the same issue being marked as spam? Would love to understand the logic here.

[oSumAtrIX]

"Same" adds no value to an issue and is being commented in masses here which makes it applicable under the term "Spam".

"also reporting the same issue" is your answer

[progre]

I tested it works with 9.65.3, not with 9.65.5 on Pixel 7 Android 13.

[kbexit]

I still get them as well. Deleted, patched and installed again, cleared storage and cache. Force closed. Cleared again, force stop, and then uninstall and reinstall. Still there.

Version 9.69.1-release.0 Pixel 6 Pro Android 13

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

timeline-ads should be updated to require 9.63, 9.64, or 9.65.3 But hide-views-stats is not compatible with any of these versions (it throws a null pointer exception during patching). The last version it's compatible with is 9.71.0

This means users must either patch with a newer version of Twitter (and get more ads) Or patch with an older version of Twitter and not include hide-views-stats (this also requires enabling experimental patching)

It seems that users want robust ad blocking more than hiding a tweet statistic.

For now, I think:

• timeline-ads should be changed to require Twitter version 9.65.3
• hide-views-stats should be changed from default to optional (and set it's required app version to 9.71.0)

Then if someone really, really wants hide-views-stats with some ads, they can enable experimental patching and go their own way. But for everyone else, they can use default patches, Twitter 9.65.3 and they'll get no ads (and tweets will still show the view statistics)
