Youtube Background Music App

KTube

Youtube Background Music App

This is my personal side project for improve my React and React Native skill,

also I'm a music lover, so I made this app for myself to listen Youtube music video more convenient and also ad free !!

some code is pretty ugly I know, so feel free to give some advices to me :D

Usage

Before you start

go to Google Cloud Platform to create your project with YouTube Data API v3

then create OAuth 2.0 credential with type iOS

create .env file under project folder, then put your client id like below

  IOS_CLIENT_ID=your client id

Installation

  yarn install
  cd ios & pod install

You can now run the app with

  npx react-native run-ios

Functionalities

• Google Sign In
• Youtube Backgorund Music
• Dark Mode
• Automatically change app icon by theme (light & dark)
• Import playlist from youtube by Youtube API and Playlist URL
• Save your favorite video anytime (favorites list)

TODO

• sort favorites list to any position you want, not only reverse it
• performance improve, especially Flatlist
• Maybe fully abandon to use Youtube Data API because it's useless..., need to find a way to get playlist data

Known Issue

• App in background (video stop) for long time, can not be able to restart video from the control center.

if you found any issue please let me know, thanks
