Embed youtube video in iOS App

I want to embed a youtube video into a webviewer whenever I press a button. I have this code

- (IBAction)testBtn:(id)sender {

    NSString *code = @"<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/1iBIcJFRLBA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>";

    [[self youtubeWebPlayer]loadHTMLString:code baseURL:nil];

}

My problem is, whenever I press the button nothing happens. The webviewer remains blank.

I have put breakpoints in the code to double check that the code is called by my app and it is indeed called.

EDIT***

I have fixed the problem by replacing

    [[self youtubeWebPlayer]loadHTMLString:code baseURL:nil];

with

    [[self youtubeWebPlayer]loadHTMLString:code baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.youtube.com"]];

Try this one this is working perfect. You use youtube Url as "http://www.youtube.com/v/YOU_TUBE_VIDEO_ID".

 UIWebView * youTubeWebView=[[UIWebView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,320)];
    youTubeWebView.allowsInlineMediaPlayback=YES;
    youTubeWebView.mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction=NO;
    youTubeWebView.mediaPlaybackAllowsAirPlay=YES;
    youTubeWebView.delegate=self;
    youTubeWebView.scrollView.bounces=NO;

    NSString *linkObj=@"http://www.youtube.com/v/1iBIcJFRLBA";//@"http://www.youtube.com/v/6MaSTM769Gk";
    NSLog(@"linkObj1_________________%@",linkObj);
    NSString *embedHTML = @"\
    <html><head>\
    <style type=\"text/css\">\
    body {\
    background-color: transparent;color: white;}\\</style>\\</head><body style=\"margin:0\">\\<embed webkit-playsinline id=\"yt\" src=\"%@\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" \\width=\"320\" height=\"320\"></embed>\\</body></html>";

    NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:embedHTML, linkObj];
    [youTubeWebView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];
    [self.view addSubview:youTubeWebView];
