Hey @lzz199507,

Thanks for using the dev forum!

That is very strange, I have never seen that happen before. The MobileRTCSDKInitContext is just an object, it shouldn’t ever return nil. Is the framework imported properly?

Thanks!  
Michael

Hey @lzz199507,

Can you take a look at this solution here: [Xcode 12.3 can't build project with MobileRTC framework](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/xcode-12-3-cant-build-project-with-mobilertc-framework/38522).

Please let me know if that resolves your issue.

Thanks!  
Michael
