.Net Maui
Hi, I need to find a way to connect my app with Dropbox. I am moving from a Xamarin.iOS app to .net Maui due to Xamarin not being supported anymore. (I can't just change my app to the new .NET as the...
The main issue is the call back to the platform and adding some kind of listener.
I found somewhere a way to bring up a web login, and they could manually copy the key that is presented so it could be pasted into my app. I can't remember where that was and if it provided a refresh token as well so they would not have to do that every time the app is launched.
Or if someone else has an idea on how to make it work without that.
Is there a way to allow a login without having to spawn an external browser?

Dropbox Community Moderatorphunction Здравко is correct, you can use ProcessCodeFlowAsync to complete the authorization flow by having the user copy/paste the authorization code into the app, passing the authorization code to that 'code' parameter.
You do need to send the user through the authorization flow in their system browser, but when you don't use a redirect URI in the authorization flow, that authorization code is presented directly to the user directly so they can copy/paste it. That way you can still implement the flow even if you can't redirect to some listener.
And yes, to get a refresh token, you'll need to request "offline" access.
