2. Fix the "Error Loading, Tap to Retry" Issue (Jailbreak Required)
Getting the YouTube app to run on legacy devices like the iPhone 5 or iPad 4 (running ) is a challenge because Google officially requires newer software. However, you can still access YouTube using several proven workarounds, ranging from official App Store "downgrades" to advanced jailbreak fixes. 1. Download the Last Compatible Version (No Jailbreak)
: You will see a prompt: "Download an older version of this app? The current version requires iOS 15.0 or later, but you can download the last compatible version" . download youtube ipa file for ios 10.3.4
: Open Info.plist and find two keys: CFBundleShortVersionString and CFBundleVersion .
: If you haven't "purchased" it before, sign into your Apple ID on a newer device, "buy" the free YouTube app there, then return to your iOS 10.3.4 device to see it in your purchase history. : Open Info
: Change both values to a modern version number, such as 15.10 , 17.03.2 , or even higher (e.g., 20.12.4 ).
