**Description** I’m using `@ionic-native/zoom` in my app. First time when I launch it works fine. Second time the app freezes. It won’t work unless I force close the app. My code in app.component.js is as below: ```auto this.zoomService.initialize(this.SDK_KEY, this.SDK_SECRET) .then((success) => { console.log(success); this.joinMeeting(zoomParams); }) .catch((error) => { console.log(error); }); ``` Little investigation shows me that the initialize method blocks the main thread and never returns. Is there anyway to re-initialize app on every restart? **Which version?** 5.23.0 **To Reproduce(If applicable)** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Use the above code in app.component.js 2. build android app using `ionic cordova build android --prod --release` 3. upload to android device 4. launch app. the meeting will start. 5. leave meeting and click back to close the app. you can put this code to do this ```auto this.platform.backButton.subscribe(() => { navigator['app'].exitApp(); }); ``` 1. reopen the app. You will see that app just freezes. **Screenshots** If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem. **Smartphone (please complete the following information):** - Device: Xiomi Note 4 - OS: Android - Version 7.0 **Additional context** Add any other context about the problem here. ---

Hi, Thanks for the post. Could you provide the SDK log so that we could further investigate this issue? The log could be find in: `/Android/data/(or your app's name)/logs/` Thanks! ---

Hi [abhi0476](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/abhi0476), Thanks for the reply. The Ionic SDK is a community project so we have limited bandwidth on this. I will forward this to the engineering team to prioritize this. Thanks! ---
