Write Given Below code in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions 

AVAudioSession *audioSession = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
NSError *setCategoryError = nil;

BOOL success = [audioSession setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:&setCategoryError];
if (!success) { NSLog(@"Error"); } else {NSLog(@"Success");}


NSError *activationError = nil;
success = [audioSession setActive:YES error:&activationError];
if (!success) { NSLog(@"Error"); } else {NSLog(@"Success");}

I successfully found a solution for the UIWebView, After see this hack https://gist.github.com/romainbriche/2308668

It's different on IO5/6 and IOS7.

The problem you will encounter will be to not stop the sound when the app enter in background. We work on it here https://github.com/0xced/XCDYouTubeVideoPlayerViewController/issues/10#issuecomment-34252488

I found some solutions but not perfects.

You can use MPMovieplayerviewcontroller & also it looks like default player of iPhone.

Here is my answer : how to play live streaming from url for a camera that broadcasting live

FOR BACKGROUND: For background play write below lines in ViewDidLoad method -

NSError *setCategoryErr = nil;
    NSError *activationErr  = nil;
    [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error: &setCategoryErr];
    [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive: YES error: &activationErr];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents];
    UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier newTaskId = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid;
    newTaskId = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler:NULL];

And also make a small change in your info.plist like below image: enter image description here
