When the youtube app is not playing in the background and when we try to initialize the youtube api in our application, then we face this issue. However, when the youtube app is running in the background it is working as expected. It is working as expected for Android OS <= Android N

I am also facing similar issue on One Plus 5T running oreo. I am using YouTube fragment to play the videos as suggested in their doc.

Once I get ERROR_CONNECTING_TO_SERVICE error and then I press back to close the activity, I get another error (below is the full log). The error persists even after killing the app. I have another app (TVF play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tvf.tvfplay&hl=en ) which also uses the YouTube player to play the videos. Once I open that app, plays any video and revisit my app then only my player starts working. This is seriously weird:

E/YouTubeVideoActivity: YouTube Init FAIL ERROR_CONNECTING_TO_SERVICE

//after some time I press back to finish() the activity. then below error comes in logcat

YouTubeVideoActivity.java:108:
youTubePlayerFragment.initialize(getResources().getString(R.string.youtube_key), this);

One more thing I have observed is that if I click on YouTube logo to open the same video in YouTube's app and play it for some time (10-20min) and go back to my app (using recent app list button), then I get a dead Object exception.

After getting DeadObjectException, the above issues (ERROR_CONNECTING_TO_SERVICE and leaked ServiceConnection issue) again starts and I have to open TVF app (as I mentioned in start of this comment) in order to resolve it

Well, I couldn't find a concrete solution for this...But there is a way around. Once the init fail, you can open YouTubeStandalonePlayer inside onInitFailure(). For that:

@Override
   public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubeInitializationResult youTubeInitializationResult) {
       try {
           Intent intent = YouTubeStandalonePlayer.createVideoIntent(this, <API_KEY>, <videoID>);
           startActivity(intent);
           finish(); //to exit current Activity in which YouTubeFragment is not working
       } catch (Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       }
   }

I confirm
This library works perfect on previous Android versions
