+
+# 💉 Introduction to ReVanced Patcher
+
+To create patches for Android apps, it is recommended to know the basic concept of ReVanced Patcher.
+
+## 📙 How it works
+
+ReVanced Patcher is a library that allows modifying Android apps by applying patches.
+It is built on top of [Smali](https://github.com/google/smali) for bytecode manipulation and [Androlib (Apktool)](https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool)
+for resource decoding and encoding.
+
+ReVanced Patcher receives a list of patches and applies them to a given APK file.
+It then returns the modified components of the APK file, such as modified dex files and resources,
+that can be repackaged into a new APK file.
+
+ReVanced Patcher has a simple API that allows you to load patches from RVP (JAR or DEX container) files
+and apply them to an APK file. Later on, you will learn how to create patches.
+
+```kt
+val patches = loadPatchesFromJar(setOf(File("revanced-patches.rvp")))
+
+val patcherResult = Patcher(PatcherConfig(apkFile = File("some.apk"))).use { patcher ->
+    // Here you can access metadata about the APK file through patcher.context.packageMetadata
+    // such as package name, version code, version name, etc.
+
+    // Add patches.
+    patcher += patches
+
+    // Execute the patches.
+    runBlocking {
+        patcher().collect { patchResult ->
+            if (patchResult.exception != null)
+                logger.info("\"${patchResult.patch}\" failed:\n${patchResult.exception}")
+            else
+                logger.info("\"${patchResult.patch}\" succeeded")
+        }
+    }
+
+    // Compile and save the patched APK file components.
+    patcher.get()
+}
+
+// The result of the patcher contains the modified components of the APK file that can be repackaged into a new APK file.
+val dexFiles = patcherResult.dexFiles
+val resources = patcherResult.resources
+```

+# 👶 Setting up a development environment
+
+To start developing patches with ReVanced Patcher, you must prepare a development environment.
+
+## 📝 Prerequisites
+
+- A Java IDE with Kotlin support, such as [IntelliJ IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/)
+- Knowledge of Java, [Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org), and [Dalvik bytecode](https://source.android.com/docs/core/runtime/dalvik-bytecode)
+- Android reverse engineering skills and tools such as [jadx](https://github.com/skylot/jadx)
+
+## 🏃 Prepare the environment
+
+Throughout the documentation, [ReVanced Patches](https://github.com/revanced/revanced-patches) will be used as an example project.
+
+1. Clone the repository
+
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/revanced/revanced-patches && cd revanced-patches
+   ```
+
+2. Build the project
+
+   ```bash
+   ./gradlew build
+   ```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If the build fails due to authentication, you may need to authenticate to GitHub Packages.
+> Create a PAT with the scope `read:packages` [here](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=read:packages&description=ReVanced) and add your token to ~/.gradle/gradle.properties.
+>
+> Example `gradle.properties` file:
+>
+> ```properties
+> gpr.user = user
+> gpr.key = key
+> ```
+
+3. Open the project in your IDE
+
+> [!TIP]
+> It is a good idea to set up a complete development environment for ReVanced, so that you can also test your patches
+> by following the [ReVanced documentation](https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-documentation).

+
+Learn the API to create patches using ReVanced Patcher.
+
+## ⛳️ Example patch
+
+The following example patch disables ads in an app.  
+In the following sections, each part of the patch will be explained in detail.
+
+```kt
+package app.revanced.patches.ads
+
+val disableAdsPatch = bytecodePatch(
+    name = "Disable ads",
+    description = "Disable ads in the app.",
+) { 
+    compatibleWith("com.some.app"("1.0.0"))
+    
+    // Resource patch disables ads by patching resource files.
+    dependsOn(disableAdsResourcePatch)
+
+    // Precompiled DEX file to be merged into the patched app.
+    extendWith("disable-ads.rve")
+
+    // Fingerprint to find the method to patch.
+    val showAdsMatch by showAdsFingerprint {
+        // More about fingerprints on the next page of the documentation.
+    }
+    
+    // Business logic of the patch to disable ads in the app.
+    execute {
+        // In the method that shows ads,
+        // call DisableAdsPatch.shouldDisableAds() from the extension (precompiled DEX file)
+        // to enable or disable ads.
+        showAdsMatch.mutableMethod.addInstructions(
+            0,
+            """
+                invoke-static {}, LDisableAdsPatch;->shouldDisableAds()Z
+                move-result v0
+                return v0
+            """
+        )
+    }
+}

+
+## 🧩 Patch API
+
+### ⚙️ Patch options
+
+Patches can have options to get and set before a patch is executed.
+Options are useful for making patches configurable.
+After loading the patches using `PatchLoader`, options can be set for a patch.
+Multiple types are already inbuilt in ReVanced Patcher and are supported by any application that uses ReVanced Patcher.
+
+To define an option, use available `option` functions:
+
+```kt
+val patch = bytecodePatch(name = "Patch") {
+    // Add an inbuilt option and delegate it to a property.
+    val value by stringOption(key = "option")
+
+    // Add an option with a custom type and delegate it to a property.
+    val string by option<String>(key = "string")
+    
+    execute {
+        println(value)
+        println(string)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Options of a patch can be set after loading the patches with `PatchLoader` by obtaining the instance for the patch:
+
+```kt
+loadPatchesJar(patches).apply {
+    // Type is checked at runtime.
+    first { it.name == "Patch" }.options["option"] = "Value"
+}
+```
+
+The type of an option can be obtained from the `type` property of the option:
+
+```kt
+option.type // The KType of the option.
+```
+
+### 🧩 Extensions
+
+An extension is a precompiled DEX file that is merged into the patched app before a patch is executed.
+While patches are compile-time constructs, extensions are runtime constructs
+that extend the patched app with additional classes.
+
+Assume you want to add a complex feature to an app that would need multiple classes and methods:
+
+```java
+public class ComplexPatch {
+    public static void doSomething() {
+        // ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+After compiling the above code as a DEX file, you can add the DEX file as a resource in the patches file
+and use it in a patch:
+
+```kt
+val patch = bytecodePatch(name = "Complex patch") {
+    extendWith("complex-patch.rve")
+    
+    val match by methodFingerprint()
+    
+    execute { 
+        match.mutableMethod.addInstructions(0, "invoke-static { }, LComplexPatch;->doSomething()V")
+    }
+}
+```
+
+ReVanced Patcher merges the classes from the extension into `context.classes` before executing the patch. 
+When the patch is executed, it can reference the classes and methods from the extension.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> 
+> The [ReVanced Patches template](https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches-template) repository
+> is a template project to create patches and extensions.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> To see real-world examples of extensions,
+> check out the repository for [ReVanced Patches](https://github.com/revanced/revanced-patches).
+
+### ♻️ Finalization
+
+Patches can have a finalization block called after all patches have been executed, in reverse order of patch execution.
+The finalization block is called after all patches that depend on the patch have been executed.
+This is useful for doing post-processing tasks.
+A simple real-world example would be a patch that opens a resource file of the app for writing.
+Other patches that depend on this patch can write to the file, and the finalization block can close the file.
+
+```kt
+val patch = bytecodePatch(name = "Patch") { 
+    dependsOn(
+        bytecodePatch(name = "Dependency") { 
+            execute {
+                print("1")
+            }
+
+            finalize {
+                print("4")
+            }
+        }
+    )
+
+    execute {
+        print("2")
+    }
+
+    finalize {
+        print("3")
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Because `Patch` depends on `Dependency`, first `Dependency` is executed, then `Patch`.
+Finalization blocks are called in reverse order of patch execution, which means,
+first, the finalization block of `Patch`, then the finalization block of `Dependency` is called.
+The output after executing the patch above would be `1234`.
+The same order is followed for multiple patches depending on the patch.
+
+## 💡 Additional tips
+
+- When using ´PatchLoader` to load patches, only patches with a name are loaded.
+  Refer to the inline documentation of `PatchLoader` for detailed information.
+- Patches can depend on others. Dependencies are executed first.
+  The dependent patch will not be executed if a dependency raises an exception while executing.
+- A patch can declare compatibility with specific packages and versions,
+  but patches can still be executed on any package or version.
+  It is recommended to declare compatibility to present known compatible packages and versions.
+   - If `compatibleWith` is not used, the patch is treated as compatible with any package
+- If a package is specified with no versions, the patch is compatible with any version of the package
+- If an empty array of versions is specified, the patch is not compatible with any version of the package.
+    This is useful for declaring incompatibility with a specific package.
+- A patch can raise a `PatchException` at any time of execution to indicate that the patch failed to execute.

+# 🧩 Introduction to ReVanced Patches
+
+Learn the basic concepts of ReVanced Patcher and how to create patches.
+
+## 📙 Fundamentals
+
+A patch is a piece of code that modifies an Android application.  
+There are multiple types of patches. Each type can modify a different part of the APK, such as the Dalvik VM bytecode, 
+the APK resources, or arbitrary files in the APK:
+
+- A `BytecodePatch` modifies the Dalvik VM bytecode
+- A `ResourcePatch` modifies (decoded) resources
+- A `RawResourcePatch` modifies arbitrary files
+
+Each patch can declare a set of dependencies on other patches. ReVanced Patcher will first execute dependencies
+before executing the patch itself. This way, multiple patches can work together for abstract purposes in a modular way.
+
+The `execute` function is the entry point for a patch. It is called by ReVanced Patcher when the patch is executed.
+The `execute` function receives an instance of a context object that provides access to the APK.
+The patch can use this context to modify the APK.
+
+Each type of context provides different APIs to modify the APK. For example, the `BytecodePatchContext` provides APIs
+to modify the Dalvik VM bytecode, while the `ResourcePatchContext` provides APIs to modify resources.
+
+The difference between `ResourcePatch` and `RawResourcePatch` is that ReVanced Patcher will decode the resources
+if it is supplied a `ResourcePatch` for execution or if any patch depends on a `ResourcePatch`
+and will not decode the resources before executing `RawResourcePatch`.
+Both, `ResourcePatch` and `RawResourcePatch` can modify arbitrary files in the APK,
+whereas only `ResourcePatch` can modify decoded resources. The choice of which type to use depends on the use case.
+Decoding and building resources is a time- and resource-consuming,
+so if the patch does not need to modify decoded resources, it is better to use `RawResourcePatch` or `BytecodePatch`.
+
+Example of patches:
+
+```kt
+@Surpress("unused")
+val bytecodePatch = bytecodePatch {
+    execute { 
+        // TODO
+    }
+}
+
+@Surpress("unused")
+val rawResourcePatch = rawResourcePatch {
+    execute { 
+        // TODO
+    }
+}
+
+@Surpress("unused")
+val resourcePatch = rawResourcePatch {
+    execute { 
+        // TODO
+    }
+}
+```

+# 📜 Project structure and conventions
+
+Over time, a specific project structure and conventions have been established.
+
+## 📁 File structure
+
+Patches are organized in a specific way. The file structure looks as follows:
+
+```text
+📦your.patches.app.category
+ ├ 🔍Fingerprints.kt
+ └ 🧩SomePatch.kt
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Moving fingerprints to a separate file isn't strictly necessary, but it helps the organization when a patch uses multiple fingerprints.
+
+## 📙 Conventions
+
+- 🔥 Name a patch after what it does. For example, if a patch removes ads, name it `Remove ads`.
+  If a patch changes the color of a button, name it `Change button color`
+- 🔥 Write the patch description in the third person, present tense, and end it with a period.
+  If a patch removes ads, the description can be omitted because of redundancy,
+  but if a patch changes the color of a button, the description can be _Changes the color of the resume button to red._
+- 🔥 Write patches with modularity and reusability in mind. Patches can depend on each other,
+  so it is important to write patches in a way that can be used in different contexts.
+- 🔥🔥 Keep patches as minimal as possible. This reduces the risk of failing patches.
+  Instead of involving many abstract changes in one patch or writing entire methods or classes in a patch,
+  you can write code in extensions. An extension is a precompiled DEX file that is merged into the patched app 
+  before this patch is executed.
+  Patches can then reference methods and classes from extensions.
+  A real-world example of extensions can be found in the [ReVanced Patches](https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches) repository
+- 🔥🔥🔥 Do not overload a fingerprint with information about a method that's likely to change.
+  In the example of an obfuscated method, it's better to fingerprint the method by its return type
+  and parameters rather than its name because the name is likely to change. An intelligent selection
+  of an opcode pattern or strings in a method can result in a strong fingerprint dynamic to app updates.
+- 🔥🔥🔥 Document your patches. Patches are abstract, so it is important to document parts of the code
+  that are not self-explanatory. For example, explain why and how a certain method is patched or large blocks
+  of instructions that are modified or added to a method
