Latest SDK News

1. Starting from Client SDK 5.0, if you are using tokens to start a meeting, you will only need to retrieve ZAK from Zoom API. The user token has been deprecated.
2. To follow with Zoom client's recent changes, Zoom SDK has temporary remove the "Unmute All" interface in Client SDK 5.0.
3. To align with Zoom’s recent announcement pertaining to our security initiative, Zoom Client SDKs have added AES 256-bit GCM encryption support, which provides more protection for meeting data and greater resistance to tampering. The system-wide account enablement of AES 256-bit GCM encryption will take place on June 01. You are strongly recommended to start the required upgrade to this latest version 4.6.21666.0429 at your earliest convenience. Please note that any Client SDK versions below 4.6.21666.0429 will no longer be operational from June 01.
4. 🔴 Non-AndroidX Version (EOL: 01/01/2020) Per Google's suggestions and guidance, we have upgraded our regular Android SDK to support AndroidX. We used to offer a non-AndroidX version to help you migrate to the AndroidX project. However, the previous non-AndroidX version has reached its End-of-Life (01/01/20). Please plan to upgrade your Android project to AndroidX to use the latest Android SDK

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• 1️⃣ Emulator is not working:
  • SDK releases before v4.3.53571.0118 only supports emulators with ABI arm series(armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a). Starting from v4.3.53571.0118, both arm series(armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a) and x86 ABI are supported.
• 2️⃣ java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroidx/fragment/app/FragmentActivity:
  • The Zoom SDK has adapted AndroidX since the release v4.4.55130.0712, if you have not migrated your project to be a AndroidX project, you will receive the above error message. Upgrading your Android project to be a AndroidX project will fix this issue.
