**Description**  
The sample web app silently failed for me until I built it using webpack.

**Error**  
If I follow the Quick Start-\> sample web app (local version) instructions to the letter, I end up running a sample web app that fails.

**Expected Bahavior**  
The instructions include all necessary steps.

**Which version?**  
1.7.10

**To Reproduce(If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to [https://github.com/zoom/sample-app-web#sample-web-app-local-version](https://github.com/zoom/sample-app-web#sample-web-app-local-version)
2. Follow the instructions
3. Cannot connect to any meetings; javascript console shows error in loading missing file static/index.min.js

**Additional context**  
To fix the problem, I need to insert the following steps before “npm run start”:

1. Replace YOUR\_API\_KEY with my api key in ./Local/js/index.js
2. Replace YOUR\_API\_SECRET with my api secret in ./Local/js/index.js
3. Run “npx webpack --config webpack.config.dev.js” from the command line in ./Local
