The primary issue isn't just the app version; it is the API. Google retired the older Data API v2 years ago, which is what the native iOS 5 "YouTube" app (the one with the television icon) used. Even the later standalone YouTube app released on the App Store for iOS 5 eventually lost support as Google updated its security protocols and video delivery formats to modern standards.
