## What it does

The skill covers the full lifecycle: initialize the SDK, authenticate, join or start a meeting, work in-meeting, then clean up. The `@zoom/meetingsdk-react-native` wrapper exposes `initSDK(config)`, `isInitialized()`, `updateMeetingSetting(config)`, `joinMeeting(config)`, `startMeeting(config)` and `cleanup()`. Your agent gets the order to call them in and what each config needs.

Separate files explain the architecture — JS wrapper, native bridge, iOS and Android SDK layers — plus package install and platform requirements. There are patterns for joining with a JWT, meeting number and password, and for host start via ZAK. iOS gets a Podfile walkthrough, Android a Gradle dependency and options mapping. Native bridge notes flag where the two platforms diverge, and a runbook gives you a short preflight checklist before debugging.

Two things to plan for. Native iOS and Android Meeting SDK dependencies still need configuring by hand; the wrapper does not replace them. Keep JWT generation on your backend, because the SDK secret cannot live in the app. And if your project runs on Expo, this route is closed.

## Install

### Codex (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill react-native -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/react-native/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Claude Code

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill react-native -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/react-native/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/react-native/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/react-native/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install openai/plugins react-native
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/react-native/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/openai/plugins --path plugins/zoom/skills/meeting-sdk/react-native
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/react-native/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/openai/plugins/tree/HEAD/plugins/zoom/skills/meeting-sdk/react-native/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- embed a Zoom join flow inside a React Native screen
- generate a JWT on the backend and pass it to `joinMeeting`
- start a meeting as host with a `zoomAccessToken`
- trace why the native bridge behaves differently on iOS and Android
- wire up Podfile and Gradle for the Meeting SDK

## Example prompts
- Help me embed a Zoom join flow in my React Native screen with `@zoom/meetingsdk-react-native`
- Show the host start pattern: what goes into `startMeeting` alongside the ZAK
- Walk me through iOS and Android setup for the Zoom Meeting SDK in React Native

# Zoom Meeting SDK (React Native)

Use this skill when building React Native apps that need embedded Zoom meeting join/start flows.

2. **[Architecture](concepts/architecture.md)** - JS wrapper, native bridge, iOS/Android SDK layers

5. **[Join Meeting Pattern](examples/join-meeting-pattern.md)** - JWT + meetingNumber + password

7. **[SKILL.md](SKILL.md)** - full navigation

## Core APIs (Wrapper)

From `@zoom/meetingsdk-react-native` wrapper surface:

- `initSDK(config)`
- `isInitialized()`
- `updateMeetingSetting(config)`
- `joinMeeting(config)`
- `startMeeting(config)`
- `cleanup()`

See: **[Wrapper API](references/wrapper-api.md)**

## Critical Notes

- You still need native iOS/Android Meeting SDK dependencies configured.
- `joinMeeting` and `startMeeting` return numeric status/error codes from native layer.
- For host start flow, pass `zoomAccessToken` (ZAK).
- Keep JWT generation on backend, never embed SDK secret in app.
- Current docs note React Native support up to `0.75.4`; Expo is not supported.
