create playlist in Youtube api

Question

I\'ve looked at Youtube\'s documentation but I don\'t seem to understand how to create a playlist for the user specifically for ios. I know the user needs to sign in using O

You are correct, you need to grant apps access to create a playlist by using OAuth 2.0. It is generally a best practice to request scopes incrementally at the time access is required rather than up front.

Here's a code snippet how to create a playlist via YouTube API in IOS:

GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch *viewController = [[GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch alloc]
initWithScope:scope
clientID:clientId
clientSecret:clientSecret
keychainItemName:keychainItemName
completionHandler:
^(GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch *viewController, GTMOAuth2Authentication *auth, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
[SVProgressHUD showErrorWithStatus:error.localizedDescription];
} else {
GTLServiceYouTube *service = [FZMYoutubeSearchService sharedYoutubeService];
service.authorizer = auth;

GTLYouTubePlaylist *playlist = [[GTLYouTubePlaylist alloc] init];

GTLYouTubePlaylistSnippet *playlistSnippet = [[GTLYouTubePlaylistSnippet alloc] init];
playlistSnippet.title = @"this is my great playlist";
playlistSnippet.descriptionProperty = @"and this is description";

GTLYouTubePlaylistStatus *playlistStatus = [[GTLYouTubePlaylistStatus alloc] init];
playlistStatus.privacyStatus = @"private";

playlist.snippet = playlistSnippet;
playlist.status = playlistStatus;

GTLQueryYouTube *query = [GTLQueryYouTube    queryForPlaylistsInsertWithObject:playlist part:@"snippet,status"];
[service executeQuery:query completionHandler:^(GTLServiceTicket *ticket,      id object, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(@"error: %@", error);
