I have been using the YouTube IFrame Player API without problem for months and started to see this exception recently when the player loads:

Uncaught ReferenceError: ytcfg is not defined when I see the console.

Also by this error my app crashes.

This question is already asked in Uncaught ReferenceError: ytcfg is not defined (also __ytRIL is not defined) - but there is not mention with that issue the site/app crashes.

The worth noting about that the same code worked properly on Android OS(app developed using cordova) but on the Other OS the app crashes.

How can I prevent this from crashing my app? Thanks in Advance.

  • They are saying youtube API error it is. So I am unable to configure out what the problem was. Atleast app should not be crash by that problem – VIKAS KOHLI Nov 17 '16 at 17:15
