Youtube video autoplay inside UIWebview

Question

I found many questions in this forum regarding embedding youtube video and autoplay, but none of them cleared all my doubts.

I found two methods to embed youtube vid

Answer 1

Q. If I am correct that (2) is recommended

A. Yes (2) method is for i-devices where no flash support.

Q. Autoplay with (2) is not possible.

A. No autoplay is not possible as of now.

Update: I am able to autoplay youtube video by using Youtube JS APIs see https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference

Just call playVideo from onPlayerReady

function onPlayerReady(event) {
                event.target.playVideo();                    
            }
