Hi 


Wanted to know is there any deprecation plan for JWT APP.  Will it be deprecated in some time ?

If yes, how will it affect the existing JWT based apps we use.

    Hi @Ashwin95, there are no plans to deprecate JWT. 🙂

    Hi,

     

    As @kolydart mentioned, Zoom sent an email stating that JWT apps will depreciate.

     

    If I created an SDK app type in zoom marketplace and I'm generating the signature using JWT, does it mean that this method of generating a signature will depreciate in JUNE 2023?

     

    I'm creating a JWT like it is described here:https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/auth/#generate-the-sdk-jwt

    Hi @FilipErni 

    Correct. You will want to begin making plans to transition to S2S OAuth.

    In the 5/21 newsletter distributed by zoom, a related announcement is mentioned:

     

    JWT apps to be deprecated June 2023

    The JWT app type will be completely deprecated as of June 2023. New and current users have 12 months to migrate their JWT based solutions to the Server-to-Server OAuth app type.

    ction recommended: Create Server-to-Server OAuth app types to replace existing JWT app types. See the Changelog for details.

    Changelog does not contain any related info. I dont' know what's going on.

    Is there a deadline for switching to OAuth? I understand JWT will be deprecated but in my understanding, that is not the same thing as "stops working."

    Thank you for your question, @Matt . 

    The JWT app type will be deprecated June 1, 2023. After this date, you will no longer be able to use your JWT apps (they will stop working).

    We recommend that you create Server-to-Server OAuth or an OAuth app to replace the functionality of a JWT app in your account.

    See the FAQ for details.

    Zoom Rooms customers who are using the Zoom Rooms JSON RPC web API should migrate to the equivalent REST API's. Documentation can be found here.

    Customers using the Zoom for Salesforce app should migrate to OAuth as soon as possible. Migration instructions are available here.

      @kenny just to triple confirm. I see @kolydart 's post that quotes an email from Zoom saying:


      The JWT app type will be completely deprecated as of June 2023. New and current users have 12 months to migrate their JWT based solutions to the Server-to-Server OAuth app type.

       

      That email from Zoom makes us think there is  a 12-month window starting in June 2023. However you said that the JWT apps will stop working on June 1, 2023. Which is it?
