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!
