XCDYouTubeKit
A YouTube video player library for iOS, tvOS, and macOS that provides native playback without a web view.
What is XCDYouTubeKit?
XCDYouTubeKit is a library that allows developers to play YouTube videos in iOS, tvOS, and macOS apps using native video players instead of web views. It solves the problem of slow and unattractive playback from YouTube's official iframe API by providing direct access to video streams. The library retrieves video data and streams for seamless integration with AVPlayer and AVPlayerViewController.
iOS, tvOS, and macOS developers who need to embed YouTube videos in their apps and want a faster, native-looking player. It's ideal for those building media-rich applications where user experience is a priority.
Developers choose XCDYouTubeKit because it offers significantly better performance and visual quality compared to the official YouTube iframe player. Its native integration with AVFoundation ensures smooth playback and a more polished user interface, despite not being officially sanctioned by YouTube.
