Kotlin version issue after updating to v13.0.0 for gradle issue

Bug Report
Description of the Bug

After updating the library, I get this error when trying to play a video:

VIDEO_NOT_PLAYABLE_IN_EMBEDDED_PLAYER

I was using:

implementation 'com.github.PierfrancescoSoffritti.android-youtube-player:core:10.0.5'

After updating to:

implementation 'com.pierfrancescosoffritti.androidyoutubeplayer:core:13.0.0'

the same error appears.

I also get a Kotlin version issue:

Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. 
The binary version of its metadata is 2.1.0, expected version is 1.9.0.

If I update Kotlin to 2.1.0, Gradle throws:

Unable to read Kotlin metadata due to unsupported metadata version.

Environment details

Android Version: Android 14
API Version: 35

Tested devices:

Pixel 7 (API 35)

Samsung Galaxy S21 (API 34)

Youtube Player Library Version: 13.0.0

Steps to reproduce the bug

Use core:13.0.0 with Kotlin 1.9.0

Try to play a YouTube video that previously worked in version 10.0.5

Observe VIDEO_NOT_PLAYABLE_IN_EMBEDDED_PLAYER

See Kotlin compatibility error in build logs

Expected behavior

Video should play correctly, and Kotlin compatibility errors should not occur.

Actual behavior

Video does not play and shows VIDEO_NOT_PLAYABLE_IN_EMBEDDED_PLAYER

Build throws Kotlin version compatibility errors

Additional information

Project setup:

Kotlin: 1.9.0

Gradle: 8.7

compileSdkVersion: 35

targetSdkVersion: 35

Updating Kotlin to 2.1.0 creates new Gradle metadata errors.
Would like to know which Kotlin + library version combination is currently supported.

VIDEO_NOT_PLAYABLE_IN_EMBEDDED_PLAYER

Has nothing to do with which version you're using, you mention yourself that it happened before the update too :) This can happen for many reasons on the YouTube side, I would suggest looking at the IFrame player doc and see if there is something there.

Kotlin version issue

It seems you just need to update both gradle and kotlin in your project. An LLM can help you with that.

Same issue, Update to which versions of Gradle and Kotlin? @PierfrancescoSoffritti
Edit:
One Issue is that, changing the AGP and Kotlin comes with added issues for various parts of the code that doesn't support 2.1.X
Is there no other work around apart from updating to 13.0.0?
