XCDYouTubeKit is an Objective-C library for playing YouTube videos natively in iOS, tvOS, and macOS apps. It extracts video streams so playback can bypass the slower official web-view iframe player.

Use cases

  • play youtube videos in an ios app
  • embed youtube player in macos app
  • native youtube video playback on tvos
  • stream youtube video without webview
  • objective-c youtube player library for ios

When to choose

  • you need native, fast YouTube playback in an Apple-platform app
  • you want an Objective-C library with CocoaPods, Carthage, and SPM support

When to avoid

  • you need strict YouTube Terms of Service compliance - the official iframe player API is the sanctioned approach
  • you target platforms outside iOS, tvOS, or macOS
