error when loading youtube video on iOS

I’ve been doing all the requirements (installing, linking the lib both ways, calling the component) and still have an error on the screen that holds the <Youtube /> component. I provided an apiKey. The error says: invariant violation: Native component for "RCTYoutube" does not exist.

I’m not using create-react-native starter, and build my app through react-native run-ios

Could you please help me solving this basic issue ? Thanks

@rajatbeck, open your IOS project in Xcode and check to see if the “RCTYoutube.xcodeproj” library was actually added to the “Libraries” folder. Also check to see if “libRCTYouTube.a” was added to the “Link Binary With Libraries” list found in your Targets’ Build Phases.

If not, you need to add the “RCTYoutube.xcodeproj” library to the Xcode Libraries folder. You can find “RCTYoutube.xcodeproj” in the react-native-youtube folder of your app’s Node Modules folder. Once you’ve done that you’ll be able to find the “libRCTYouTube.a” binary when you click the “+” option at the end of the “Link Binary With Libraries” list found in your Targets’ Build Phases. All should be working after this is done.

The official docs for manually linking libraries explains it well with screenshots: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking-libraries-ios.html
