Tagging it with Epic: Rewards because it seems like its been caused by https://github.com/brave/brave-ios/blob/development/Client/Frontend/UserContent/UserScripts/AllFrames/AtDocumentStart/RewardsReporting.js so solution will require some testing with YouTube & Rewards integration

Hate to sound like my manager, but do we know when the 1.20.0 release is likely to go out with the fix? Is this something that would be worth extracting out into a small release?

@jamesanderson9182 iOS14 is right around the corner and we decided to ship it together with all items needed for the default browser capability, we plan to submit 1.20 to Apple this week

We cut as much as we could for 1.20, now it's basically only the youtube fix + the default browser entitlement

sorry to keep you waiting

Thank you @iccub for getting back to me so quickly.

That’s fine and makes sense, I can wait :)

Good luck with the release & submission.
