Meeting SDK getting started documentation needs updating

Format Your New Topic as Follows:

Meeting SDK Type and Version

macOS 6.7.2.72402

Description
*I want to follow the instructions and end up with the sample zoom app, able to join a meeting or webinar, be functional on macOS 26.2 with latest available XCode tooling. The web pages describing the ‘getting started’ are out of date, as they describe the process for creating a Zoom app, but the description does not match the UI that the website offers.

Additionally, the instructions for opening and building the sample app documents paths that do not exist, and the UI in the XCode tooling has changed, making the instructions there erroneous.*

The sample app appears to build, (I’m using AppleSilicon), but, after supplying the JWT and providing meeting details, errors are emitted instead of showing the expected UI.

Error?
The console log of the XCode tools shows many messages about inconsistencies, such as:

Internal inconsistency in menus - menu <NSMenu: 0x72e7c0340>

Title: Services

Supermenu: 0x72e7c0300 (ZoomSDKSample), autoenable: YES

Previous menu: 0x0 (None)

Next menu: 0x0 (None)

Items: (

) believes it has <NSMenu: 0x72e7c0300>

Title: ZoomSDKSample

Supermenu: 0x0 (None), autoenable: YES

Previous menu: 0x0 (None)

Next menu: 0x0 (None)

Items: (

) as a supermenu, but the supermenu does not seem to have any item with that submenu

but also errors, such as:

precondition failure: unable to load binary archive for shader library: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IconRendering.framework/Resources/binary.metallib, The file file:///System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IconRendering.framework/Resources/binary.metallib has an invalid format.

How To Reproduce
*Try following the actual words of the ‘getting started’ instructions at:

developers zoom us / docs / meeting-sdk / macos / get-started /

website.

There are multiple points throughout the documented steps that do not match up with reality.

The UI flow when it talks about using the ‘Develop’ path on the website is not up to date. There are other choices that need to be answered before getting to the point of being able to download anything.

There is no folder called ‘Plugin’.

There is no top-level folder called ‘SampleApp/ZoomSDK’

The description of steps for adjusting the XCode project are not clear re how to get to the places that need to be gotten to, particularly for those not familiar with XCode, and may have been correct for older versions of XCode tooling, but not correct for current XCode.
