So I am in the possess of publishing a Zoom app for a client. It will be a purely internal app that will not be publically available, yet it needs to be able to join meetings from external accounts, hence the need for publication. I will be publishing it as an unlisted app, with no intention of ever making it public, as the app is the company’s trade secret.
I wanted to hear if there are the same security and privacy requirements for unlisted apps, as for public apps.
What is the time estimate to get the app reviewed, as we really need things to move a bit quickly?
What can we do to speed up the review process?
For any emails concerning the publication and review process, will all of the emails be sent to the developer’s contact email or the email tied to the account?
Also need this too @noahviktorschenk, I have been hit with assumptions from ZOOM and they think I am publishing a marketplace listed app which is incorrect.
Yes, even for unlisted apps, you must meet the same security and privacy requirements as public apps. Make sure to mark your app as Unlisted during the publishing process: Unlisted Apps.
The review process typically takes up to 72 hours, but completing your submission thoroughly can expedite this. You can monitor the review status here: Check Review Status.
Emails will be sent to the developer’s contact email, so ensure this is accurate and monitored: Monitored Email Inbox.
Thank you so much for the clarification, sorry for the late response.
I have one other question about the testing. You need to test my app within the review process, correct? But, with the current setup of our app, since it is only meant for us, the client ID and Secret are hard coded in, so not if you can test it. Will we need to change it so you can pass your own Client ID and Secret or can you use the currently hard coded once?
Please note this in the ‘release note for reviewer’ field regarding the testing flow of your app. If there isn’t an end-user authorization flow (no Oauth) then you can provide instructions on how the reviewer can use your app to join a Zoom meeting created on the reviewers’ Zoom meeting.
Yeah, but the issue is that when it is not released it won’t be able to join meetings made by any ‘external’ accounts, including the reviewers’ account I am assuming. At least as long as the client ID and Secret is hardcoded.
It will be able to join the meeting created on the reviewer’s account because we have specifically made it possible for non-approved apps to be able to join reviewer’s account.
