Hi,  
I am trying to build ionic app with meeting SDK 5.9.0.

I have updated the files as per the instrutions provided below

### Copy platform SDK files into Ionic directory

Copy the platform SDK files into the appropriate directory:

- For iOS, navigate to `Sample&Libs-DeviceOnly/lib` and copy all the frameworks and bundles to the `libs/ios` folder in the Ionic directory.
- For Android, navigate to `mobilertc-android-studio` and copy the `aar` files in `mobilertc` and `commonlib` into `libs/android` in the Ionic directory. Also add the dependencies specified in the `build.gradle` file in `mobilertc` to `src/android/build-extra.gradle`.

I am getting following error while building aandroid app

platforms\android\app\src\main\java\cordova\plugin\zoom\Zoom\Zoom.java:242: error: cannot find symbol  
int response = mZoomSDK.loginWithZoom(username, password);  
^  
symbol: method loginWithZoom(String,String)  
location: variable mZoomSDK of type ZoomSDK

Please help.

The Meeting SDK from 5.9 and above changes the authentication method. You now need to do [the SDK Auth.](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/auth/)
