I used following way in my app and its working in both iOS6 and iOS 7. May be its works for you.

NSString *youTubeID = [self extractYoutubeID:url];   // url is youtube url 
NSString *embedHTML =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\
                          \
                          \
                          \
                          \
                          ",paddingTop,paddingRight,paddingBottom,paddingLeft,videoHeight,videoWidth,youTubeID];
[self.webView loadHTMLString:embedHTML baseURL:nil];




- (NSString *)extractYoutubeID:(NSString *)youtubeURL
    {
        //NSLog(@"youtube  %@",youtubeURL);
        NSError *error = NULL;
        NSString *regexString = @"(?<=v(=|/))([-a-zA-Z0-9_]+)|(?<=youtu.be/)([-a-zA-Z0-9_]+)";
        NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:regexString options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive error:&error];
        NSRange rangeOfFirstMatch = [regex rangeOfFirstMatchInString:youtubeURL options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, [youtubeURL length])];
        if(!NSEqualRanges(rangeOfFirstMatch, NSMakeRange(NSNotFound, 0)))
        {
            NSString *substringForFirstMatch = [youtubeURL substringWithRange:rangeOfFirstMatch];
            return substringForFirstMatch;
        }
        return nil;
    }
