YouTubeAdAway is an Xposed module to block YouTube in-video ads and enable background playback on the official YouTube app. Tested against YouTube 17.40.40, but it should support newer updates. Feel free to raise an issue if a newer YouTube update is not supported, and please make sure you provide your xposed logs.

YouTube videos ad cards are not hidden, and there is not ETA on when it will be supported. You are more than welcome to contribute with pull requests!

    ⇒ This app complements the official YouTube app and thus depends on it to be present on device.
Download Source Issues ChangeLog
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
