Adding UIButton to AVPlayer in iOS (Swift) When Video Plays in WebView - ios

Question

I'm putting together an iOS app (using Swift) that contains a webview. A user will click on a video in the webview and the video will load, at which time I want to display a button on the video. I've been able to display the button but it is not responding to touches and I'm not sure why. I made the button huge just to make sure it was being hit. Here's my code. I extended AVPlayerViewController.
Thanks in advance for your time and patience.
extension AVPlayerViewController {
open override func viewDidLoad() {
let btn = UIButton(type: .roundedRect)
btn.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
btn.setTitle("Do stuff", for: .normal)
btn.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 330, width: 300, height: 300)
btn.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.pressButton(button:)), for: .touchUpInside)
btn.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
btn.isEnabled = true
btn.clipsToBounds = true
self.contentOverlayView?.addSubview((btn as? UIButton)!)
self.showsPlaybackControls = false
}
func pressButton(button: UIButton) {
print("Worked")
}
}

In your extension of AVPlayerViewController, you have overridden viewDidLoad method, which is not correct in my view. Instead you can add the button adding logic in the extension and call that method eherever ypu have initialized the AVPlayerViewController.
extension AVPlayerViewController {
func addButton() {
let btn = UIButton(type: .roundedRect)
btn.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
btn.setTitle("Do stuff", for: .normal)
btn.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 330, width: 300, height: 300)
btn.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.pressButton(button:)), for: .touchUpInside)
btn.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
btn.isEnabled = true
btn.clipsToBounds = true
self.contentOverlayView?.addSubview((btn as? UIButton)!)
self.showsPlaybackControls = false
}
func pressButton(button: UIButton) {
print("Worked")
}
}
