This should be related to https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patcher/releases/tag/v21.1.0-dev.3, in other words, once we bump patcher in ReVanced Manager, the issue should be resolved.

So you have to use the beta version of Revanced Manager because the stable one no longer works?

I use the default patches and received a very similar error. Last update patches and microG (Yesterday).

Thank you.

I've also tried ReVanced Manager v1.26.0-dev.20, but the problem persists with the same resource compilation error.
