This blog recap (Zoom Apps mentioned halfway down the article) makes it seem as though they are hand selecting App partners (between the Launch Partners and now Zoom Fund) to work closely with to ensure compatibility with all of the new functionality they’re planning to roll out (Immersive experience, expanding apps to webinar, mobile, etc.).
Starting to get pretty concerned that the GA is still a long way off. Really frustrating.
This thread has gone unacknowledged for nearly 2 weeks now - while newer threads routinely get fast response times.
Therefore I am pretty sure they have taken a decision to simply not acknowledge this, because eventually they will announce GA and functionally that’s the same as informing us.
Except it really isn’t - because chasing every day for an answer takes time and energy & a policy to not acknowledge the request feels pretty disrespectful & bad.
The various people on this thread are making a serious good-faith effort to participate with Zoom & how can they determine we’re not “worthwhile” of even a response without some kind of review of our plans & track record.
It’s likely that this isn’t within the control of the dev team, and it actually falls under a partner manager & that’s awkward for them to say to us - as they don’t want to give the appearance of criticizing another department. Therefore they just decide to ignore us each day.
Given the genuine helpful nature of the dev staff’s average response - I doubt they are purely not bothered to respond it’s likely hands are tied and it’s awkward to say that to us.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for following up on this thread—our apologies for the delay, as things have been quite busy around here, but rest assured we are not intentionally ignoring your questions.
While we’re making great progress on getting Zoom Apps ready for GA for developers, I’m afraid that we do not have a date to share quite yet. Zoom Apps are still in a closed beta for the moment while our Product and Engineering teams continue prepping for GA. We hope to have more details for you very shortly—please keep an eye out for further communications as we have them!
