YouTube Player - Error 15 on all videos since 3 days ago (iOS + Android)

[1001doktorofficial-cmyk]

Can we access your project?

• I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

Description:
Hi FlutterFlow team,

Since about 3 days ago, the YouTube Player widget started throwing Error 15 on all videos across both iOS and Android. Until then, everything was working fine.

Details:

Affects multiple videos from different content creators (not limited to one channel).

All videos stopped working at the exact same time.

They were previously working fine in my region.

I did not change anything in my devices, Google account, or project settings.

Error occurs consistently (not random).

Because of the sudden and global behavior, this seems to be platform-related (either a recent change in YouTube embed policies or a bug in the FlutterFlow YouTube Player widget), not related to individual video owner settings.

Expected Behavior

Expected Result:
Videos should play normally as before.

Actual Result:
Error 15 appears on all videos.

Steps to Reproduce

1.Add a YouTube Player widget.

2.Use any valid video ID (from different creators).

3.Run on iOS or Android.

4.Error 15 appears, video won’t play.

Reproducible from Blank

• The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

Can confirm that very same error is happening to our apps too, started recently. Could be a major issue. Please address this asap

Same happens on Android TVs due to Android System WebView update.
On older WebView versions the Youtube video is playing.
This issue emerged after Android System WebView updated to version: 140.0.7339.51

Have created an issue here:

Hope if the WebView team or the Youtube team can give us some clue as to what is the change and what needs to be fixed.
