Hello,

`MobileRTC.shared().getMeetingService()? .assignCohost(zoomuser)`  
to assign Co-HOST to the Zoom user ID (zoomuser), but although true is returned, it is not actually promoted to Co-HOST.

`MobileRTC.shared().getMeetingService()? .canBeCoHost(zoomuser)`  
This is puzzling because it also returns True.

Co-Hosting is allowed in Zoom settings.

Thanks.

**Which iOS Meeting SDK version?**  
Zoom SDK iOS 5.7.6  
Use CustomUI
