Unable to Upload macOS App with Zoom Video SDK to TestFlight – Asset Validation Errors

[nikunj.ramani (Nikunj)]

Hi Zoom Support,

I’ve successfully integrated the Zoom Video SDK into my macOS application, and it is working as expected. However, I encountered issues while trying to share the app with my team via TestFlight.

When I archive and upload the app to App Store Connect, I receive the following error related to the ssb_sdk framework:

Asset validation failed
Invalid Bundle Identifier. The application bundle contains a tool or framework ssb_sdk [com.newdaythera.provider.pkg/Payload/NEW DAY THERAPEUTICS.app/Contents/Resources/ssb_sdk.bundle] using the bundle identifier ‘SaaSbee.ssb_sdk’, which is not a valid bundle identifier. (ID: d78befdf-f38b-403f-a7eb-52445225f757)

I’ve followed Zoom’s official documentation for SDK integration and used all the files provided, yet I cannot upload the build to TestFlight.

Additionally, I am encountering two other errors:

Asset validation failed
Bad CFBundleExecutable. Cannot find executable file that matches the value of CFBundleExecutable in the nested bundle zConfCallbackDispatcher [com.newdaythera.provider.pkg/Payload/NEW DAY THERAPEUTICS.app/Contents/Frameworks/zConfCallbackDispatcher.framework] property list file. (ID: 1c0a09b8-b969-445a-8e75-68b4fed67016)

Asset validation failed
Bad Bundle Executable. You must include a valid CFBundleExecutable key in the nested bundle zConfCallbackDispatcher [com.newdaythera.provider.pkg/Payload/NEW DAY THERAPEUTICS.app/Contents/Frameworks/zConfCallbackDispatcher.framework] property list file. (ID: c942094f-bb45-4f99-81ab-cb2b562d6644)

@richardpiazza can you please help me with this?

@nikunj.ramani I don’t think it’s possible to use the MacOS SDK with the App Store (and by extension TestFlight).

I believe this has something to do with the Zoom Video SDK not supporting the requirements for sandboxing…

@richardpiazza
Is there any way to use the Zoom Video SDK for macOS? We need to release the app on the App Store, so could you suggest any possible solutions for this?

@nikunj.ramani As far as I know, it’s not possible to use any Zoom SDKs in an Mac App Store app. Just look at the Zoom app itself. The next best solution is to distribute outside of the store and use notarization.

It would be great if the Zoom documentation/guides indicated this fact before anyone wastes their time integrating, just to find out their entire distribution plan has to be scrapped.
