In IOS it is throwing error "An error occurred please try again later"

[Lekhrajk]

Describe the bug It is working fine for android devices same code I am using for iOS but after loading video thumbnail it throws error "an error occurred please try again later" I am trying to run it in IOS 11 simulator

Expected behavior It should play the video instead of throwing an error.

Screenshots

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: [ iPhone11] simulator
• OS + version: [ iOS 14.4]
• react-native-youtube-iframe 2.0.1
• react-native-webview 11.3.2

you must be getting some error from the onError callback.

Can you check that?

[Lekhrajk]

Yes I checked it ,It is showing HTML5_error

[LonelyCpp]

Make sure you're using react-native-youtube-iframe and not react-native-youtube.

Html5 errors are usually due to the webview (safari in your case) throwing errors. Try it on a real device to make sure it's an emulator only issue. I can confirm that it works well on my ios emulator. (bigSur, xcode 12.5)

Maybe restarting the emulator / updating MacOS would also help.

[Lekhrajk]

yes on real device also it is throwing error because app is live on App Store and I am using big Sur and Xcode latest version

I think it is because YouTube doesn't allow copyrighted video to be played using iframe

I also encountered this problem

"react-native-youtube-iframe": "^2.2.2",

onError return information HTML5_ Error, it cannot be played normally in debug mode

Same, in version 2.2.2 still not working

"react-native-youtube-iframe": "^2.2.2",

I think it is because YouTube doesn't allow copyrighted video to be played using iframe

No it plays on expo but not in react native cli
