If you want a native player to be added to your view with the seek bar and play pause button then use following code:

private func playVideo() {
        guard let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "SampleVideo", ofType:"mp4") else {
            debugPrint("video.m4v not found")
            return
        }
        let player = AVPlayer(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: path))
        let playerController = AVPlayerViewController()
        playerController.player = player
        playerController.view.frame = videoView.bounds
        videoView.addSubview(playerController.view)
        player.play()
    }

and if you want just the video to be played in your view with AVPlayerLayer then you can do something like below:

    var player : AVPlayer!
    var avPlayerLayer : AVPlayerLayer!
    @IBOutlet weak var videoView: UIView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()


        guard let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "SampleVideo", ofType:"mp4") else {
            debugPrint("video.m4v not found")
            return
        }
        player = AVPlayer(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: path))
        avPlayerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
        avPlayerLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravity.resize

        videoView.layer.addSublayer(avPlayerLayer)
        playVideo()


    }

    override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {

        avPlayerLayer.frame = videoView.layer.bounds
    }

    private func playVideo() {
        player.play()

    }

This worked perfect for me hope it works for you :)
