Core APIs (Wrapper)

From `@zoom/meetingsdk-react-native` wrapper surface:

  • `initSDK(config)`
  • `isInitialized()`
  • `updateMeetingSetting(config)`
  • `joinMeeting(config)`
  • `startMeeting(config)`
  • `cleanup()`

See: **[Wrapper API](references/wrapper-api.md)**

Critical Notes

  • You still need native iOS/Android Meeting SDK dependencies configured.
  • `joinMeeting` and `startMeeting` return numeric status/error codes from native layer.
  • 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.

Platform Guides

  • **[iOS Setup](references/ios-setup.md)** - Podfile, optional ReplayKit/app group fields
  • **[Android Setup](references/android-setup.md)** - Gradle dependency + options mapping
  • **[Native Bridge Notes](references/native-bridge-notes.md)** - behavior differences and gotchas
