Build

./gradlew :patches:buildAndroid

The bundle is written to patches/build/libs/patches-1.0.0.mpp.

Integration test

./gradlew :patches:integrationTest

The Kotlin integration test downloads the pinned Morphe Desktop release, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, applies only this patch to twitter.apkm, and checks the resulting APK and Morphe patching report. The verified Morphe JAR is cached under patches/build/verification/tools.

Apply manually

java -jar morphe-desktop-*-all.jar patch \
  --patches patches/build/libs/patches-1.0.0.mpp \
  --exclusive \
  --enable="Disable outdated version screen" \
  --out twitter-patched.apk \
  twitter.apkm

Add as a Morphe patch source

For a local source, open Sources → + → Local in Morphe and select the built .mpp file.

After a release has populated patches-bundle.json, add the following address under Sources → + → Remote:

https://git.krtss.de/StanPonomarev/twitter-patch/raw/branch/main/patches-bundle.json

Remote sources update automatically from the release bundle referenced by that metadata file.
