allow connecting to YouTube

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I was able to connect to YouTube application with the preview version using iOS 
API, but now I cannot. It does launch the YouTube application when I perform 
[deviceManager launchApplication:@"YouTube"];  but it fails thereafter.

I don't understand why connecting to YouTube and casting a YouTube through SDK 
is a requirement; YouTube app does that for you if you want to cast a YouTube 
video. It is like asking for being able to launch and use Hulu+ using APIs. If 
you have a pointer to an mp4 video from YouTube, you can directly cast that but 
otherwise, YouTube is an app like any other app.

Alright, makes sense. I was just curious since i could do that with preview sdk 
version. To be honest it could be a good use case in demand from lot of users 
in future. Youtube is like a repository, lot of apps narrow down to specific 
types of videos which they might want to chromecast via their apps.

I agree that it is an attractive use case but the correct way of implementing 
that is not to treat YT differently in the SDK; SDK should treat all apps the 
same way, instead it is the YT app that should/could provide additional 
functionalities to enable that use, case. In other words, this can be a feature 
request for the YT app and not SDK.
