Ok. So we programmed this app with a tab redirecting to an official Youtube channel. The videos in it are entirely legal and we have all the permissions (actually the only copyrighted material is ours).
Google will reject it because "After a regular review, we have determined that your app downloads, monetizes, or otherwise accesses YouTube videos in violation of the YouTube Terms of Service or YouTube API Terms of Service. Accessing content, a product, or service in an unauthorized manner is a violation of the Developer Distribution Agreement, and is not allowed on Google Play"...
Is it for the, again, legal and free of any kind of alteration Admob code as banner in the tab bottom?? Any other reason??

Your API key may not be working because you're using it for the wrong project. Be sure you're using the key for the project that you created it for, especially if you created multiple projects at the same time. If it's still not working, consider creating a new API key entirely.
If your app gets rejected due to copyright/trademark issue, just review your app title, its description, images and remove all the copyrighted names from them. If you have taken any permission from the owner regarding the same, it will be allowed by Google, prior to proper proof submission.
Resubmit app Login to your Google Play Console account. Navigate to the “All Apps” section on the left menu. Here you will be able to see all the apps submitted from your account. Click on the “View app” button against the app that you wish to resubmit the build for.
You can put ads to the video list, all other places but the video screen where youtube videos playing can not have any kind of ads.
It is same for the web pages. Google says that if the visitor enters a webpage for watching a youtube video, you can't place ads, if the visitor's main reason to visit that page is something else and there is also a youtube video on the page then it is allowed to put ads. Also other web pages that doesn't include youtube videos can have ads on it. This is the rule.
So, put your ads only the places where there is no youtube video on it. This is the solution.
