React-native-youtube: Is this library dead?

[joebochill]

• No releases in 13 months
• No commits in the last 10 months.
• No activity from inProgress-team on any repositories for the last 6 months.
• inProgress-team website no longer available: http://in-progress.io/

Is it safe to assume inProgress-team no longer exists and this library is no longer being maintained?

I have the same question. Dose it still under maintenance? Because I still try to figure it out the issue on Android #276

I'm looking for alternatives now, I've used this library throughout the development process. But seeing the issues I had in the release version, I'm sure I can't use this.

Suggest alternates.

Sure seems like it. @davidohayon669?

Same here, going with Webview approach.

Just wondering, how are you going to support playing in full screen? WebView mounted on a modal?

At last, I have got my UX changed for my app, and only showing the video in full screen using the standalone YT player on click of the play button.

@iamparthaonline Curiously, I've released apps with YouTube videos embedded in WebViews and Google automatically removes them from Play Store after some time alleging that they violate YouTube policies by playing the video in background mode. During all of my testing on real and virtual devices, that never happens to me but I can't convince Google or get an answer.

Anyone have any non-webview solutions to the issue of RN YouTube videos?

@levi-beers Let the YoutuBe player becomes full screen when press the play button, I think is the only way now on Android.

@levi-beers Please check my previous reply, I am not using the webview for YT videos as it violates some of the policies if not configured properly ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32730711/android-app-rejection-from-google-play ) . So I am using standalone YT player API to open the video in only full screen mode.
