You can use HCYoutubeParser: https://github.com/hellozimi/HCYoutubeParser

NSString *videoUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%@", videoId];
NSDictionary *videos = [HCYoutubeParser h264videosWithYoutubeURL:[NSURL URLWithString:videoUrl]];
videoUrl = videos[@"small"];

Youtube is a little bit tricky in iOS because it's doesn't provide the real video link that obvisioulsy. There is a good plugin clalled LBYoutubeView which handles to extract the real url for you. You can have a look at the link extractor if you just want to download the video...

Another opportunity is to use the gdata objective c client and and import the extracted link in an UIWebView. But keep in mind that the gdata client doesn't provide you with the real link like the framework above.

And be aware, that UIWebivews in simulators < 6.0 probably do not support playing a youtube video in a UIWebview.

At least here is an example of how to embed a youtube video directly in an UIWebView:

[self.webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:
                           [NSURL URLWithString:
                            [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@", @"http://www.youtube.com/embed/", @"THEYOUTUBEID"]]]];
