You've to use Revanced Manager app to do it manually.
You can get compiled app, but then you've to trust the person sending you the APK
Here is a guide I wrote previously on how I did this step by step for reddit sync. It'll be similar for the other apps but I haven't tried any of those.
Uninstall reddit sync from your phone.
Go here and download a clean redditsync apk file (click the blue "DOWNLOAD APK" Button) This is the APK I used: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/red-apps-ItdIsync-for-reddit/sync-for-redditv23-05-03-1718-release/sync-for-reddit-v23-05-031718-2-android-apk-download/
Go here and download Revanced Manager APK file and install it. https://qithub.com/revanced/revanced-manager
Go to reddit.com/prefs/aps and go to the bottom where it says "Create Application" (you have to login here to do this)
Name it whatever you want, select "installed app" and under redirect uri, type http://redditsync/auth then click "create app"
After you create the app, you should see it under the title "Developed Applications". Under the name you gave it you should see a random string of numbers, letters, and symbols. This is your client ID. You will use this in the next step.
Using a file manager on your phone, navigate to /sdcard/ and create a txt file titled "reddit_client_id_revanced.txt"
Open the text file you just created and paste in your Client ID from step 7. Make sure it is on the top line of the text file with no spaces or indents before or after the ID.
Open Revanced Manager on your phone. Select Patcher on the bottom, click "select application", click the "storage" button on the bottom right. Navigate to the location where you downloaded the clean redditsync apk in step 2.
When you select the apk file in step 10, you should see that it has selected 2 patches (change Oauth client ID and Disable ads). Click "Patch' in the bottom right.
Allow the patching to occur and read everything on the screen to check for errors. If the Oauth failed to patch, revisit step 8.
Click install. Google play will likely warn you, expand the option and click "install anyway", if it asks to scan the app, decline scanning.
Launch the application, run through the setup and re-log into your account if you want.
Profit
Use APK mirror to download a clean APK and then patch it with revanced. They can't send you a compiled one because you need to use your reddit account to set up a custom app to get a unique API key that's just for you
