Zoom App Review Question

Hello, I’m working on a zoom app that will be unlisted. Is it possible to submit the zoom app for review under our staging site? Will the app need to be re-reviewed when we update our URL’s to our production site?

Ideally we would go ahead and get our app reviewed/approved and simply update our URL’s once we’re ready to go live later this month.

Thanks!

hi @Lucas9 ,

Welcome to the community. Nope, and not a good idea.
Zoom will want you to have a live app site and a dev app site.
In that way, you will be able to have a live app and one to update and submit to Zoom when needed.

For myself, I keep 3 versions running

Live
Beta (for submission)
Development Version

All the best

Thanks! @expertswho Out of curiosity how long would you say it normally takes for the zoom review proccess? Assuming everything on my end has been setup properly. Just wanting to have a rough timeline for this process.

Hi @Lucas9 ,

It used to norm about 7 weeks, lately it has been quicker.
The more simply your app, and less API’s needed and use, the easier it is to go through the system.
Make sure you clearly tell them how you will be using the apps as this could also speed things up.

We have a developers meeting next work and I will be asking this question as I have a number of apps to release this quarter.

all the best

@expertswho I super appreciate your responses! I’ve got one last question for you haha, typically what are the types of zoom app that you create? General, Server to Server, Webhook only?

I’m building a General User-managed app. Hopefully that makes the review process less lengthy.

Thanks again!

I am a Zoom community developer champion, and I create with Zoom appssdk, api/webhooks and some browser apps. Happy to encourage others because I have more ideas than i could ever develop.
