Settings break on second account #186

Describe the bug

I use two Google accounts on my YouTube app:

  1. Main Account (with YouTube Premium)
  2. Second Account (without YouTube Premium)

Settings concerned:

  • Feed → Hide subbar [ON]
  • Tab bar → Manage Tabs [Setup: Home, Subscriptions, History, Library]

Settings are applied correctly on main account, secondary account and incognito mode.

However, after few days, only on the second account:

  • The feed subbar starts showing.
  • The first tab after Home, which in this setup is "Subscription" disappear.
    [Home, Subscriptions, History, Library] → [Home, History, Library]

So if I set [Home, History, Library],
then only [Home, Library] show up.

Possible causes I am guessing:

  • Use of second account
  • Lack of YouTube premium on 2nd account

I have attached my YouMod_Preferences.plist for reference.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set above settings.
  2. Use for a few days.
  3. On second account, settings are no longer set correctly.

    I use multiple accounts just fine on the pre-release branch and haven't seen any issues so far.

    Thanks for looking into it. Weirdly enough, right now the issue is gone on my end too. I don't know how it resolved itself, but it was like that for a few days. I don't know to to recreate it either now.

    Got some related issue again randomly:
    1st Account:
    Image
    The label for the "history" button in the nav bar is missing.

    2nd Account:
    Image
    The "Subscriptions" button is gone, and all of the labels missing.

    Image

    Few minutes later, again the "Subscriptions" button is missing, but now the "History" button is weirdly named "Subscriptions".

    Is it possible to somehow take some logs to help identify the issue?

    My only guess is that the hooks in the stable branch are dead on the recent YouTube releases. I made sure that the hooks are working while working in the pre-release branch. If you can test the pre-release branch and reproduce it there then there would be something to fix.
