## What it is
A React Native component that embeds YouTube video playback in mobile apps, wrapping the YouTube Android Player API and a WKWebView player for iOS. It exposes playback controls and events declaratively via props.

## Use cases
- play youtube videos in a react native app
- embed a youtube player component in mobile app
- control youtube video playback with play/pause and fullscreen
- handle youtube player events like ready, state change, and errors
- loop youtube videos inside an ios or android app

## When to choose
- you are building a React Native app that needs to play YouTube videos
- you want a declarative component wrapping the official Android player API
- you need playback events like onReady, onChangeState, and onError

## When to avoid
- your app targets platforms where the YouTube Android Player API is deprecated or the YouTube app is missing
- you need to play non-YouTube video files
- you need a web (browser) player rather than native mobile
- you need actively maintained support for the latest React Native versions
