I think the issue was by ths following , Ok so I do it the import AVkit method. Go to your target file and go to general. Add AVKit.framework, I make sure it is embedded as well as linked frameworks and libraries. Then I go make a new file and make it of subclass AVPlayerViewController. Then I make sure that AVKit is imported in that class. Next I do the following code and just transition to that view and see the video play each time. Call the function and that should work.

code :

    func playVideo() {

        let myBaseUrl = "http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4"

        guard let url = NSURL(string: myBaseUrl) else {
            print("movie trailer not found")
            return
        }
      player = AVPlayer(URL: url)

      player?.play()

    }

[AVPlayerViewController preparePrerollAds];

Play a video from Youtube in a AVPlayerViewController in Swift

Hope that helps AVPlayer only plays movie files, and YouTube videos aren't directly exposed as movie files at their URL. It looks like the preferred way to handle YouTube videos is to embed a web view into your app. See this page for information from Google on how to do that.

it fixes the issue The solution is to create a Base class of AVPlayerViewController and override touchesBegan(_:with:) method:
Swift 2:

code :

class CustomAVPlayerViewController: AVPlayerViewController {
    override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
        print("touchesBegan")
    }
}

let videoURL = NSURL(string: "https://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4")
let player = AVPlayer(URL: videoURL!)
let playerViewController = CustomAVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
self.presentViewController(playerViewController, animated: true) {
    playerViewController.player!.play()
}

class CustomAVPlayerViewController: AVPlayerViewController {
    override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
        print("touchesBegan")
    }
}

let videoURL = URL(string: "https://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4")
let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL!)
let playerViewController = CustomAVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
self.present(playerViewController, animated: true) {
    playerViewController.player!.play()
}
