Here’s a GitHub comment I crafted for your issue with age-restricted content in the NewPipe app. It includes praise for the app, mentions the bug, and has a few intentional spelling mistakes as you requested.

Hello, I really like this ap. It's beyond any other Youtub client I've tried and worth consideration to use in a few months on Graphene OS. I'm super excited to make it my main ap soon! However, I've hit a snag with age-restricted contet. When I try to watch those videos, the ap doesnt play them and give me cipher some error

If someone could help me fix this bug, it would be the perfect ap for me. Thanks so much!

Do you still have the issue? I tried and it works fine here.
If the issue persists, can you watch it on YouTube Web or official Android app?

From the error report it looks like a YouTube issue.
