React-native-youtube: Crashes in iOS12. Gives EXC_BAD_ACCESS randomly on multiple threads.

[wliadmin]

It gives EXC_BAD_ACCESS on multiple places only in XCode 10 & iOS12. I have attached one sample of that thread. It gives this kind of bad access crashes. Please do the required support for iOS 12.

My XCode version : 10
iOS : 12
React native version : 0.55.4

@manikmahajan65 I made the changes from the PR you linked, but all that renders is a blank white box. Is there a step I'm missing?

[manikmahajan65]

@joebochill Simply updating YTPlayerView.h and YTPlayerView.m files, will work

[rnowm]

Same as @joebochill I get a blank video replacing YTPlayerView.h and YTPlayerView.m.
@manikmahajan65 if that works for you, could you please create a PR in that repo? I could test that again in my app

[dallen4]

@rnowm I didn't completely replace the files but updated all the corresponding references by reading through the git diff he linked to. Did the trick for me.

If you guys like, I will commit the changes to a fork and you all can try implementing that version of the module. If it works, I'll submit a PR.

I have been using this fork GroupXTech/react-native-youtube for a while with no significant issues.
