Play youtube video in iOS app

Youtube video can be played in iOS app using webview. MPMoviePlayerController is not able to open youtube video automatically. Integrate the below script to show thumbnail, clicking on it the video will play in full screen.


    NSString *url = @"https://www.youtube.com/embed/8aMHGC6A5zc";
    
    NSString* embedHTML = @"\
    <html><head>\
    <style type=\"text/css\">\
    body {\
    background-color: transparent;\
    color: white;\
    }\
    </style>\
    </head><body style=\"margin:0\">\
    <iframe id=\"yt\" src=\"%@\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" \
    width=\"%0.0f\" height=\"%0.0f\" frameborder=\"0\" feature=player_detailpage allowfullscreen></iframe>\
    </body></html>";
    
    NSString* html = [NSString stringWithFormat:embedHTML, url, self.view.frame.size.width, 200.0];

    [webview loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];
///*******************AUTO PLAY IN iOS 10**********************
- (IBAction)btnPlayVideoAction:(UIButton *)sender {
    self.webView.scrollView.scrollEnabled = false;
    NSString *youTubeVideoHTML = @"<!DOCTYPE html><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:'%0.0f', height:'%0.0f', videoId:'%@', events: { 'onReady': onPlayerReady, } }); } function onPlayerReady(event) { event.target.playVideo(); } </script> </body> </html>";

    
    NSString *html = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:youTubeVideoHTML, self.contentView.frame.size.width, self.contentView.frame.size.height, @"Sg2sKU4QIbg"];
    [self.webView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourceURL]];

How to kill/exit iOS application on a button click programmatically

I had been practising below code to kill an iOS application. exit(0); But last week, my application was rejected by app store due to following reason: We found that your app includes a UI control for quitting the app. This is not in compliance with the iOS Human Interface Guidelines, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines . To avoid any such rebuff, suspend the application using following code snippet. UIApplication.shared.perform(#selector(NSXPCConnection.suspend)) Good news is that now my application is passed the  iOS Human Interface Guidelines and live on app store.

Return multiple values from a function in objective C

We can return tuples in swift as follows:- func getData () -> ( Int , Int , Int ) { //...code here return ( hour , minute , second ) } You can't do that in objective-c. Best option is using parameters by reference . Something like this. - ( void ) getHour :( int *) hour minute :( int *) minute second :( int *) second { * hour = 1 ; * minute = 2 ; * second = 3 ; } And use it like this. int a , b , c ; [ self getHour :& a minute :& b second :& c ]; NSLog (@ "%i, %i, %i" , a , b , c );
