Does OAuth flow can be used for joining the live webinars in iOS &Android App

[coolgary90 (Amanpreet)]

Hi,

We are using Zoom Meeting iOS & Android SDK in our mobile app which allows user to join live webinars.

We are getting alert on the app created on zoom marketplace that your app uses JWT method which needs to replaced by OAuth. So we started looking OAuth zoom documentation but its not very clear how this new OAuth flow will work and whether it is really needed for joining live webinars or not.

So could you please let me know whether this OAuth flow needs to implemented at mobile side for joining the live webinars or this OAuth is only applicable when we want to start any live meeting from our mobile app.

JWT App Type (deprecated) and OAuth flow are used to access Zoom REST API.

Joining meeting on iOS and Android Meeting SDK requires Meeting SDK App Type.

Question: Do you need to create / schedule meeting from your mobile app?
If no, then you don’t need OAuth app.

Hi @chunsiong.zoom ,Thanks you for your response.

We don’t need to schedule/create meetings from our mobile app and as you said then OAuth is not needed. This point clear.

But we are getting one warning on zoom market place (check attached screenshot), that our app uses JWT, which needs to be replaced by OAuth, then my next question is since we are using zoom meeting SDK only for joining webinars from mobile app, then why we are getting this message and do we really need to update it because as per you OAuth is needed only for scheduling or creating meeting.

@coolgary90 ,

You can ignore this prompt, or you can update the app to OAuth as well. It will not affect your existing Meeting SDK app.

Just for reference: In the past, Meeting SDK for Web used to use JWT App Type (deprecated) for SDK Auth.
