Authentication to dropbox on tvOS

This was discussed earlier in this thread. Please read through it for our recommendation. 

It's not relevant enough imho

Can you please help more ?

What do you need help with specifically? What issues are you seeing?

John - the suggestion was to get the iOS SDK source, add it to your project manually, and compile that way, as opposed to using a pre-built library/framework.

Auth.swift in SwiftyDropbox is using WebKit:

https://github.com/dropbox/SwiftyDropbox/blob/master/Source/Auth.swift

But there is no WebKit in tvOS...

How can I authenticate to Dropbox on tvOS ?

Cheers,

Look into Digits for tvOS:

Here's a pretty crude rails implementation of what Gregory above suggested https://github.com/bluwave/tvOSDropboxAccessToken .  

Then once your tv app has the access token and userID, you can call:

Dropbox.handleRedirectURL(NSURL(string:"db-\(appKey)://2/token#access_token=\(accessToken)&uid=\(userID)&token_type=bearer")!)

This feels pretty hacky though.  Need a better way to save that info into Dropbox client. 

Thanks for putting this together and sharing it!

A more direct way to save an access token is to use DropboxAuthManager.storeAccessToken:

Hi everyone,

I still can't log in to Dropbox on my tvOS app...

Any help from Dropbox would be much appreciated.

Thanks

John, have you reviewed the information above in this thread, including the sample code helpfully provided by g r.? Have you hit some issue with the technique described?
