OK I have a fix for this.

It's a crazy bug in the WebView library where the fix is to set its opacity to 0.99.

This completely fixed it for me:

<YoutubePlayer 
...
    webViewStyle={ {opacity:0.99} }
/>

yep, it is related to webview opacity and animations.

During a screen transition, react-navigation animates the opacity of the whole screen (including the webview, and only in android) and promptly crashes it.

Another alternative to your solution is to change or remove the default navigation animation on screens that have webviews in them.

The 99% opacity trick was working for us. Except on Android 5 (and below) where we were getting a white space instead of the video player. We needed to add...

import {Platform} from 'react-native';
...
<YoutubePlayer
    webViewProps = {
        {
             androidLayerType:  Platform.OS==="android" && Platform.Version<=22 ? "hardware" : "none" 
        }
    }
...
/>

More info on androidLayerType here. We're still unsure whether we should use "hardware" or "software", since some webview hardware rendering has given us crashes in the past.

Our setup: RN 0.63.3, react-native-youtube-iframe 1.4.1

This actually works for my project.
