In that case, you should add the Service Response in the Question. — Bhavin, Jun 29 '13 at 06:52

It should be done like :-

NSString *HtmlString = @"<iframe width="560" height="314' src="http://www.youtube.com" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>";

HtmlString = [HtmlString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@""" withString:@"\""] ;

Hope this helps .... Please view the edit...

@siva : Have you converted the String ? Are you getting the expected conversion result ? Have you used `NSLog` ? – Bhavin Jun 29 '13 at 07:23

@siva: What you asked is all about conversion. I solved your Problem. (For that you should Accept the Answer). Now regarding playing the Video, you should ask a new Question. – Bhavin Jun 29 '13 at 07:39
