CMD+Q results in zoom sdk crash during zoom meeting

Description
I have a bundled electron app using the zoom electron SDK and I’ve noticed that during Zoom meetings, if a user exits the app using CMD+Q, it results in an app crash and crash report dialog. Based on the crash report crashed thread, it appears something in the ZoomSDK layer is seg faulting leading to the crash. Here is a snippet from the crash report:

Hi Nitin,

Thanks for the post and thanks for providing the info. Let me forward this to the engineering team for further investigation and get back to you shortly.

Thanks!

Hi Nitin,

Thanks for reporting this. The engineering team was able to identify this issue, and this is caused by an unexpected way of killing the SDK instance(CMD+Q). Due to some dependencies and constraints, we might not be able to fix this crash at the moment, we will continue to investigate this and fix this when we can. Pardon the inconvenience caused by this.

Thanks!

Hi @carson.zoom, thanks for the response. Is there anything we can do in the meantime to avoid presenting a crash report to our users? Any options to workaround it? We cannot gracefully quit our application so our users experience a crash due to this bug whenever they cmd+q.

Thanks!
Nitin
