Core APIs (Wrapper)

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

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

See: Wrapper API (opens in a new tab)

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.
