⚙️ Mandatory Zoom SDK Setup

🤖 Android Setup

1. Add the dependency and run flutter pub get.

2. Download the Zoom SDK ZIP from the following link:
   👉 Zoom SDK Download

3. Extract the ZIP file after downloading.

4. Copy the libs folder and paste it inside your Flutter pub-cache directory at:

   ~/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/flutter_zoom_meeting_wrapper-0.0.2/android/
   

   🔁 Replace 0.0.2 with the version you’re using, if different.

5. Or run the following command to open the folder directly:

   open ~/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/flutter_zoom_meeting_wrapper-0.0.2/android
   

⚠️ Important: The libs folder must be placed in the correct location for the plugin to function properly.

🍎 iOS Setup

The iOS integration requires placing the Zoom Meeting SDK frameworks into the plugin’s ios/Frameworks/ directory inside the Flutter pub-cache. Follow these steps:

Step 1 — Download the Zoom iOS Meeting SDK

You can download the iOS SDK using either option below:

Option A — Direct Download (Google Drive)

👉 Download iOS SDK from Google Drive

Extract the ZIP file after downloading.

Option B — Zoom Marketplace

1. Go to https://marketplace.zoom.us/ and sign in.
2. Navigate to your app’s credentials page.
3. Download the iOS Meeting SDK ZIP package.
4. Extract the ZIP file.

Step 2 — Copy frameworks into the plugin

Open the pub-cache directory for the plugin’s iOS folder:

open ~/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/flutter_zoom_meeting_wrapper-0.0.2/ios/Frameworks

🔁 Replace 0.0.2 with the version you’re using, if different.

Copy all of the following items from the extracted Zoom SDK into the Frameworks/ folder:

File / Folder	Description
MobileRTC.xcframework	Core Zoom Meeting SDK
MobileRTCResources.bundle	UI resources (required at runtime)
MobileRTCScreenShare.xcframework	Screen sharing support
zoomcml.xcframework	Zoom companion framework (required)

After copying, the folder should look like:

ios/Frameworks/
├── MobileRTC.xcframework
├── MobileRTCResources.bundle
├── MobileRTCScreenShare.xcframework
└── zoomcml.xcframework

⚠️ Important: zoomcml.xcframework is required. If it is missing, pod install will fail with an error.

Step 3 — Configure minimum iOS version

In your app’s ios/Podfile, make sure the platform is set to iOS 15.0 or higher:

platform :ios, ‘15.0’

Step 4 — Exclude unsupported simulator architectures

The Zoom SDK frameworks include arm64 simulator slices only (no x86_64). Add the following to your ios/Podfile’s post_install block to prevent build errors on Intel Mac simulators:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
  end

  installer.aggregate_targets.each do |aggregate_target|
    aggregate_target.user_project.native_targets.each do |target|
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings[‘EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]’] = ‘$(inherited) i386 x86_64’
        config.build_settings[‘SUPPORTS_MAC_DESIGNED_FOR_IPHONE_IPAD’] = ‘NO’
      end
    end
    aggregate_target.user_project.save
  end
end

Step 5 — Install pods

Run the following from your project’s ios/ directory:

cd ios && pod install

Step 6 — Add required permissions

Add the following keys to your app’s ios/Runner/Info.plist so the system grants Zoom the access it needs:

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Camera access is required for video meetings.</string>

<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>Microphone access is required for audio in meetings.</string>

<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>Photo library access is required to share images in meetings.</string>

Step 7 — Build and run on a device

flutter run

⚠️ Note: The Zoom SDK simulator frameworks are arm64-only. Testing on a physical iPhone or iPad is recommended. Running on an Intel-based Mac simulator may not work even with the architecture exclusions above.

🔑 Getting Started with Zoom SDK

1. Create a Zoom Developer Account at https://marketplace.zoom.us/
2. Create an app in the Zoom Marketplace
3. Get your API Key and API Secret from the app credentials
4. Use these to generate your JWT token

---

🔒 Generate JWT Token

To generate a ZOOM JWT token, you can use https://jwt.io/ with the following payload and signature: Payload:

{
  "appKey": "ZOOM-CLIENT-KEY",
  "iat": ANY-TIME-STAMP,
  "exp": ANY-TIME-STAMP, //greater than iat
  "tokenExp": ANY-TIME-STAMP //greater than iat
}

Verify Signature:

HMACSHA256(
  base64UrlEncode(header) + "." +
  base64UrlEncode(payload),
  "ZOOM-CLIENT-SECRET"
)

🚀 Usage

Initialize the SDK

First, initialize the Zoom SDK with your JWT token:

import 'package:flutter_zoom_meeting_wrapper/flutter_zoom_meeting_wrapper.dart';

// Initialize Zoom SDK

bool isInitialized = await ZoomMeetingWrapper.initZoom(jwtToken);

Join a Meeting

Once initialized, you can join a Zoom meeting like this:

bool joinSuccess = await ZoomMeetingWrapper.joinMeeting(
  meetingId: "your_meeting_id",
  meetingPassword: "meeting_password",
  displayName: "Your Name",
);

⚠️ Common Issues

JWT Token Invalid: Ensure your API Key and Secret are correct, and check that your system time is accurate.
Failed to initialize SDK: Make sure you have a stable internet connection and valid JWT token.
Cannot join meeting: Verify that the meeting ID and password are correct.

⚡ Limitations

🖼️ Custom UI overlays are not supported in the current version
📹 Recording meetings is not supported in this plugin
🖥️ Screen sharing functionality is limited to platform capabilities
