I was searching for any native(non-proxied) YouTube client for Android in kotlin.

I found this which is making me excited, but in the same time I am worried about its security and privacy that make me unable to install it.

Does anyone know the developer and is the app safe and private?

Asking out of ignorance, is there anything wrong with NewPipe rn?

I'm sorry but that is really the dumbest argument that I've ever heard. How in the world does that affect the user when it's compiled anyways? If you want to modify the app then just do it in kotlin. They are interoperable

What's wrong with that?

I'm curious, why is kotlin interesting here ?

A good portion of Android itself is written in Java, and is not expected to get ported to Kotlin any time soon
