Direct App Auth (iOS) - what is dbapi-8-emm for?

I support direct app auth in my iOS app - by attempting to launch the Dropbox app using the dbapi-2:// URI. This all works fine.   In the documentation https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c#...

    Hi Craig, that extra URL scheme is to support users who have the 'EMM' version of the official Dropbox app. (You can find more information on EMM in the help center.)

     

    The third party app authorization flow will normally work via the official Dropbox app, if installed. By adding this extra URL scheme, the same thing will work with the EMM version. You as the app developer don't need to do anything else beyond that though. The authorization flow interface works the same.

     

    I hope this helps clarify!
