Critical Notes
- Latest npm wrapper verified on 2026-07-10:
@zoom/meetingsdk-react-native@7.0.5. - You still need native iOS/Android Meeting SDK dependencies configured.
- In
7.0.5,joinMeetingandstartMeetingresolveMobileRTCMeetErrorstring values rather than the older numeric return type. - New
7.0.5events include auth return, meeting error, join confirmation, meeting state change, and auth identity expiration notifications. - For host start flow, pass
zoomAccessToken(ZAK). - Keep JWT generation on backend, never embed SDK secret in app.
- Current docs note React Native support up to
0.75.4; Expo is not supported.
