Fixes error: Correctly sets YouTube consent cookie

[alexeichhorn]

Hey,
Great work with your repo. I've seen that YouTube made some changes recently that make XCDYouTubeKit fail in many regions. The issue was "discussed" in #523.
I implemented the same solution as in youtube-dl commit 14f29f. It basically has to set a "consent-cookie" so YouTube sees you agree with their terms and conditions, cookie rules or whatever.

Would be happy to hear your feedback

Works for me with my pull request

Works, thanks!

I had downloaded the code from alexeichhorn:fix/youtube-consent branch and added the required XCDYoutubeKit folder into project, because there is no new pod version available for this fix.

I run the project on real device and observed that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6R4u8jSkh4 url gives me same error video unavailable.

Am I doing anything wrong here, how it’s working for u and not for me. Please suggest we depends on this lib and in a release phase. Please advise.

I tested your video using the demo application in the repository, which worked, and used SwiftPM to integrate the framework in my application where I haven't tested your video, but a lot of others.
There's a chance this problem is region based, so maybe try to use a VPN to test some other regions. I myself tested it in Switzerland.

hi @Praveen-Balpande
I used alexeichhorn:fix/youtube-consent branch too. Your video is working for me.
You can check response in handleConnectionSuccessWithData method on XCDYouTubeVideoOperation.m class in order to understand what the problem is.

Can you add the fix from other pull-requests:
NSDictionary *query = @{ @"video_id": self.videoIdentifier, @"hl": self.languageIdentifier, @"el": eventLabel, @"ps": @"default", @"html5" : @"1" };

[alexeichhorn]

@sherwinzadeh I've merged both pull requests in the master branch of my fork. I use it myself in SwiftPM for my own project.

Hi, can you please write what is the correct pod file entry for your fork?
