Cannot view age restricted content using YouTube Android Player API

Question

Using Youtube android player api my app doesn't play age restricted videos, it just shows the message "Sign in to confirm age" I am signed in to the YouTube App with an account which is age verified, I expect the video should play based on the account signed in youtube app via YouTube Android Player API.

Using this tutorial in making android app it works good with non-restrict video but if i want to play a video that has age restriction it will show this error "Sign in to confirm age"

for example this age restricted youtube video id:

zKovmts2KSk
CrtwqDt0IEk
ZMAbpoolm_s

import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayer.Provider;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements

    @Override

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        YouTubePlayerView youTubePlayerView = (YouTubePlayerView)findViewById(R.id.youtubeplayerview);
        youTubePlayerView.initialize(API_KEY, this);
    }

 @Override
 public void onInitializationFailure(Provider provider,
   YouTubeInitializationResult result) {
  Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), 
    "onInitializationFailure()", 
    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
 }

 @Override

I tried it and found out that you can't add youtube link and video if its not your content.
