I am trying to upload a video to youtube from an iPhone "installed application" with GData for ObjectiveC.
Currently I receive an error on my upload ticket: ServiceException - error code 500.
From the documentation I cannot figure out what this error means and what I am doing wrong:
500 (Internal error) - A 500 response code indicates that YouTube experienced an error handling a request. You could retry the request at a later time.
I received only this error for more then a week (so this is not a temporary outage) and I've tryied with different product registrations for the Youtube API.
Can anyone spot what I am doing wrong in my request ?
Below you can find the log from GData's GTMHttpDebugLogs:

This is being caused by <yt:accessControl action="list"/> in your request, which isn't a valid value. It should be something like <yt:accessControl action='list' permission='denied'/>
That being said, the API should handle that gracefully and not return an internal server error. I'll file a bug with the relevant folks internally to fix that.
