IOS 5 or iOS 4 upload to YouTube

googlegoogle-appsiosiphoneyoutube

I have iPhone4 running iOS 5.1. No, I will not upgrade to iOS6 because it will delete my beloved pre-installed Maps application, and the new one from Google is [snip…] … not performing up to my expectations.

I also have an iPhone3G running iOS 4.2. This cannot be upgraded at all.

I had used the pre-installed YouTube app to upload videos in the past. Everything worked flawlessly. Now, this app no longer accepts my Google login. Yes, I've read about 2-step login process. I've tried that. Worked everywhere, but on the pre-installed YouTube app. Google is purposely blocking that app because [reasons].

An older version of Google's native YouTube app from Appstore (the latest one requires iOS6 that I cannot install) has no way to upload. It recommends to download YouTube Capture App. I try that… and it needs iOS6.

Someone please tell me how to upload to YouTube from iOS5 and iOS4.2 considering that pre-installed YouTube app cannot login anymore.

I upload through the Safari browser. You have to be in desktop view, but it works every time for me.
