Unable to load html string in UIWebView using loadHTMLString:baseURL in iOS?

I am trying to embed youtube video into my iOS application.For that I have created a UIWebView & trying to load the Youtube video from following here

I have gone through the all the answers for the above problem. Even then its not working. I have also tried loading very simple HTML

 NSString *embedHTML =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><body>Hello World</body></html>"];
 [webView loadHTMLString:embedHTML baseURL:nil];

Even then, I am getting compile error Parse Issue Expecte ']'

I have tried cleaning, quitting the XCode & relaunching it again. I donno, I am not able to use that method. How to use the above loadHTMLString method for my UIWebView.

PS : Please do not tag this question as duplicate. I have tried all the solutions in Stackoverflow. Nothing has worked

It is very simple. You just have to add only one line. Try It:

NSString *htmlString = @"<html><head></head><body><p>1. You agree that you will be the technician servicing this work order?.<br>2. You are comfortable with the scope of work on this work order?.<br>3. You understand that if you go to site and fail to do quality repair for  any reason, you will not be paid?.<br>4. You must dress business casual when going on the work order.</p></body></html>";
[WebView loadHTMLString: htmlString baseURL: nil];

try to load the url directly into the webview :

 UIWebView *webview=[[UIWebView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 200, 250)];

[webview loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://youtube.com/embed/-0Xa4bHcJu8"]]];

- (NSString *)getHTMLContent
{
    NSString *cssPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"baseline" ofType:@"css"];

    NSData *cssData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:cssPath];
    NSString *cssStyle = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:cssData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];

    NSString *subtitle = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ | %@", self.article.author, [dateFormatter stringFromDate:self.article.publishedDate]];

    NSString *htmlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><head><meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0;'></head><style type=\"text/css\">%@</style><body><div id=\"container\"><h1>%@</h1><p class='subtitle'>%@</p>%@</div></body></html>", cssStyle, self.article.title, subtitle, self.article.content];

    return htmlString;
}

WebView *webDesc = [[UIWebView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(12, 50, 276, 228)];

NSString *embedHTML = @"<html><head></head><body><p>1. You agree that you will be the technician servicing this work order?.<br>2. You are comfortable with the scope of work on this work order?.<br>3. You understand that if you go to site and fail to do quality repair for  any reason, you will not be paid?.<br>4. You must dress business casual when going on the work order.</p></body></html>";

webDesc.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
webDesc.opaque = NO;
webDesc.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[webDesc loadHTMLString: embedHTML baseURL: nil];

You probably need to provide more code if you want people to help you. I just used webView in a similar way and it's working fine.

self.webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:myFrame];
self.webView.scalesPageToFit = YES;
[self.webView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

//pass the string to the webview
[self.webView loadHTMLString:[[self.itineraryArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:@"body"] baseURL:nil];

//add it to the subview
[self.view addSubview:self.webView];

Can you provide more information and code?
