The same problem persists with the latest update (v1.14.1).

Got same issue, partly fixed by logging out ...
Yes it says "failed, reason: 'Need to sign in'" but after waiting a bit / retrying a couple of times (keeping logged-out) it eventually worked ...

BTW I never ever did to log-in before to download any video w/ this app.
YT might have changed something in its protocol, that makes the app behave like that. But from my experience, the message saying "log-in is needed" is bullshit. What works is keeping logged-out and retrying...
