For playing youtube videos, I'm using
-(void)playYoutubeVideo:(NSString *)youtubeUrl {
NSString *videoId = [self extractYoutubeIdFromLink:youtubeUrl];
NSLog(@"video Id %@",videoId);
[self playVideoWithId:videoId];
}
- (NSString *)extractYoutubeIdFromLink:(NSString *)link {
NSString *regexString = @"((?<=(v|V)/)|(?<=be/)|(?<=(\\?|\\&)v=)|(?<=embed/))([\\w-]++)";
NSRegularExpression *regExp = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:regexString
options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive
error:nil];
NSArray *array = [regExp matchesInString:link options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0,link.length)];
if (array.count > 0) {
NSTextCheckingResult *result = array.firstObject;
return [link substringWithRange:result.range];
}
return nil;
}
- (void)playVideoWithId:(NSString *)videoId {
NSString *youTubeVideoHTML = @"<html><head><style>body{margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;}</style></head> <body> <div id=\"player\"></div> <script> var tag = document.createElement('script'); tag.src = 'http://www.youtube.com/player_api'; var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag); var player; function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() { player = new YT.Player('player', { width:'%f', height:'%f', videoId:'%@', events: { 'onReady': onPlayerReady } }); } function onPlayerReady(event) { event.target.playVideo(); } </script> </body> </html>";
NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:youTubeVideoHTML,300,200, videoId];
[webView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourceURL]];
}

Recently I faced the same issue in my iOS application where we are loading a YouTube video link inside UIWebView.
After breaking head for long time, it turned out to be the device "date and time" settings problem.
The device date was set to very old. After we updated the settings, the youtube videos started loading inside web view.
