Setup Guide

1. Install package

npm install @zoom/react-native-videosdk

2. Wrap app with provider

<ZoomVideoSdkProvider
  config={{
    domain: 'zoom.us',
    enableLog: true,
    appGroupId: '<ios-app-group-if-needed>',
  }}
>
  <App />
</ZoomVideoSdkProvider>

3. Platform baseline

• Configure Android/iOS native prerequisites from package docs.
• Ensure React Native/toolchain compatibility with wrapper version.
• Implement backend JWT signing endpoint before session join.

4. Android build stability on Windows

• Prefer a short workspace path for Android builds (example: C:\temp\rn-video-sdk-example).
• Deep nested paths can trigger native CMake/Gradle instability (for example reanimated build trees and repeated build.ninja regeneration).

5. Android SDK wiring for CLI runs

• Ensure android/local.properties points to your SDK dir:

sdk.dir=C\:\\Users\\<user>\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk

• For shell-driven runs, export/set Android env vars before react-native run-android:
  • ANDROID_HOME
  • ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
  • PATH includes platform-tools

6. Dependency pinning for copied sample projects

• If project was copied from SDK sources, do not keep local relative dependency ("@zoom/react-native-videosdk": "../") unless parent package exists at that exact location.
• Pin/install a concrete version instead (example @zoom/react-native-videosdk@2.4.5) to avoid Metro resolution failures.

7. Security baseline

• Keep Video SDK secret out of mobile app.
• Use short-lived JWTs per session/user context.
• Validate incoming session inputs server-side.
