Hi Team, On the app listing submission page, I am using the meta tag method for domain verification. I have included the meta tag in the head section of my domain’s home page URL, and can independently confirm from the page source that the tag is present. When I click the Verify button option , I see an error message and the verification process fails. The error seems to be occurring due to a possible SSL problem at Zoom’s backend. This is the error message > javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: > > Received fatal alert: protocol\_version Could you please manually verify my domain ownership? ---
