9xbuddy works fine to download age-restricted videos. It's probably not FOSS, though.

Have you tried Grayjay? Grayjay gets updates quickly and so I rarely see the issue.
Just FYI. Grayjay is only source available, but not open source like newpipe and its forks.
I think greyjay is the best YouTube app. I gave up on Newpipe the moment Firefox for Android reenabled extension support. I didn't like the fact that Newpipe needed a fork just for Sponsor block support.
Well, with newpipes forks are possible in order to implement controversial features, with Grayjay they are unlikely because of its non-open-source license.
At least its plugins, which are what needs to be regularly updated as platforms change, are open source. I imagine someone will clean-room reverse-engineer the core app and make an open source one that uses the plugins.
Also, Louis Rossmann said they only reserve the right to go after forks to prevent a situation like all the shady ad-ridden NewPipe ones flooding Google Play Store.

Reverse-Engineering and reimplementing something is a lot of work, especially if it is a moving target that is still actively developed. I don't expect anyone to do it.
Also, Louis Rossmann said they only reserve the right to go after forks to prevent a situation like all the shady ad-ridden NewPipe ones flooding Google Play Store.
That is some kind of hand wavy reasoning that might come from someone that could be sponsored by them. Louis should do better than taking any company by their word and promises. And spreading FUD about NewPipe (and by extension all of Open Source software) is also a straw man argument. An untrustworthy software repository is not a argument against the open source software application, but against the software repository and their maintainers.
If you are concerned with that, you should stop using Google Play store.

It happens on Youtube Music on the web also.
I don't sign in on my work computer because last time I paid for food my Google account hijacked my chrome browser.
So now I simply can't listen to whole albums because some songs are age restricted
It's been a while since I used chrome, but I used to use incognito to avoid that from happening. You can log into your services in the incognito session and when you're done and close the incognito session, the temporary folder with your session stuff will get deleted, leaving the normal chrome browser unaffected.
there's userscripts you can get for adguard for windows and tampermonkey that allow you to watch age-restricted stuff without being signed in.
Why can't invidious and piped do that?
OP is a screenshot from newpipe, they are very rigid on adding those things, that's why you need to download other forks to get sponsorblock for example.
Classic actions of a horrible company doing horrible things.
"It's for the safety of the children"
I'm still mad at them for disabling the "add to watch later" button on video marked as "for kids".
YouTube soon to update terms of service to include "We must secure the existence of ads and a future for youtube-watching children"
youtube-dl won't even download them now.
You can, if you pass cookies from your browser to the command line. The easiest way is to specify your browser, e.g. yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefox
I don't have an account so that probably won't work. Thanks though!

I try to use YT as little as possible these days. Used to stream a lot of indie music, not talking indie radio guitarists no I mean the REAL indie basement dwellers, but since YT took away play-all buttons I moved to SoundCloud. Just type in a song you know in the genre you want and let it autoplay.
If you dig indie music from basement dwellers check out funkwhale sometime, we are building the fediverse version of grooveshark.

I'm not giving google my documents to confirm my identity, I'll pass
As if they don't already know everyones age by now from our collected data.
They actually sent me an email one time that basically said: "We've changed some settings for you since yoi don't look 18+"
Yeah, it's definitely a good idea to make absolutely sure they have your confirmed identity, just to watch some YouTube videos. Some people actually care about privacy.

Oh that is a bad development
i don't understand why people don't just use revanced and ublock?
My main problem is that freetube perfectly remembers video position, without fail.
YouTube always fails

I don't like having a google account that has google tracking any video I watch. Also... the recommendations are more addicting and with Tubular (NewPipe fork) and Freetube I just imported my subs and follow them a bit. Never had to deal with the shitty youtube website once. Also, ReVanced still uses the proprietary YouTube apk and I prefer free software on my phone
