I know there are various libraries and approaches to play Youtube or Vimeo videos on iOS inside WebViews. Is there a way to play such a video without the use of a WebView at all? All I want to do is have my own "show video" button and when it's pressed then the default fullscreen video player on iOS should open and play the video from YouTube or Vimeo. Is that possible?
You can try with

Is it possible to play YouTube video without leaving app on iOS 7?

Another way to play youtube videos is WebView.
But you should not go for this because using this your application will be rejected.

I want to be able to use jwplayer so that when the user clicks on the video the video will start to play in fullscreen mode.
I want this functionality to work on mobile devices that support html5.
If the video is played on a mobile device it will take up the whole screen.
Youtube and Vimeo currently do this on mobile devices.
The Link Below uses Html5 video tag, which plays in fullscreen on mobile device when the video is clicked on.
The only way I that I know that jwplayer allows fullscreen is that I manually click on the fullscreen button, but it would be nice to only click on the video to trigger the video to play in full screen.
I need to play youtube video in my iOS application and while video is playing I need to add an overlay on video.
1.Now how can i run youtube video in native player?
2.if I play video in UIWebview then how can i detect that video is
playing and how to add overlay on the video?
MPMoviePlayerViewController cannot directly play youtube video urls.You need to extract the url before loading MPMoviePlayerViewController with the url.
you can see a working demo in my github repo:
Try this::
https://github.com/DpzAtMicRO/IOSYoutubePlayer
LBYoutubeExtractor extracts the youtube Url with JSON.
Please do read the README.md before you use this in your application.

MPMoviePlayerViewController is a good one but last commit is years ago. I found another solution called 'XCDYouTubeKit' which supports iPhone/iPad and iOS7 onwards with full screen YouTube video.
You can access github page at here and fully documented tutorial at here
This is what official developer says in his page:
The only official way of playing a YouTube video inside an app is with a web view and the iframe player API. Unfortunately, this is very slow and quite ugly, so I wrote this player to give users a better viewing experience.
