How to handle occasional crashes when embedding YouTube videos in iOS app?

I’m working on an iOS app that plays YouTube videos using UIWebView. Sometimes the app crashes when users tap the play button too quickly. I’ve seen this issue mentioned before but haven’t found a solution.

Is there a way to catch these errors and prevent the app from crashing? I’m not sure where to put error handling code since the crash happens during user interaction with the UIWebView.

Has anyone dealt with this problem before? Any tips on making YouTube video playback more stable in iOS apps would be really helpful. I want to give users a smooth experience without random crashes.

Thanks for any advice!

hey man, i’ve had similar issues. try using WKWebView instead of UIWebView - it’s more stable. also, add a delay before enabling the play button after loading. might help prevent those quick-tap crashes. good luck with ur app!
