403 error during authentication
Recently we've started to see 403 errors during sign-in. We start bu callling authorizeFromController:controller:openURL, the user then chooses their account, taps allow, and then before our :application:openURL: is called, a screen comes up saying 403 and to retry. Back up and retry and it works.
It happens 100% on the simulator for us, and on some devices. Believe the lack of the Dropbox app causes it on device.
We are a multi-login app if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
Dylan

Thanks for the report! I just tried this though and I wasn't able to reproduce the error page you're seeing. I tried using the official Dropbox Objective-C SDK v3.9.4 in the iPhone Xr iOS 12.2 simulator.
Are you still seeing this issue now? If so, can you let us know:
- What device(s)/simulator(s) and versions of iOS specifically are you seeing this with?
- Is there anything on your network connection that may be interfering with any connections to Dropbox or Google (our CAPTCHA provider)?
- Are there any JavaScript errors when this occurs? You can retrieve this from a device using the Safari Web Inspector.
Thanks in advance!
