A pure Python yt-dlp-plugin that uses Apple WebKit to solve Youtube N/Sig, should work on most modern apple devices.
[PO Token](<https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/PO-Token-Guide#youtube-po-token-guide>) support is being considered.
# Installing
## Requirements
1. Python. CPython 3.10+ and PyPy 3.11+ are supported. Other implementations and versions might or might not work.
2. A device with Apple's operating system. This plugin _should_ work on iOS/iPadOS 14.0+, and MacOS 11.0+, on x86\_64 or arm64. Other apple's operating systems might or might not work.
3. yt-dlp **`2025.<TODO:MinVer>`** or above. Requires [yt-dlp/yt-dlp#14157](<https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/pull/14157>)
## Installing the plugin
The master branch is for development. It's not recommended to install from master. A new release is published on Github and PyPI when a new feature or fix is added.
**pip/pipx**
If yt-dlp is installed through `pip` or `pipx`, you can install the plugin with the following:
```
pipx inject yt-dlp yt-dlp-apple-webkit-jsi
```
or
```
python3 -m pip install -U yt-dlp-apple-webkit-jsi
```
