Drop-in Chooser on Windows Phone 8.1

Do you have a question? Or are you proposing a way to make the Chooser work on Windows Phone 8.1? (If so, please provide some code so we can see what you're talking about.)

Hi,

Well, my proposel is that the Dropbox Chooser already works on Windows Phone 8.1, except the Dropbox.isBrowserSupported() function prevents it from working.

In visual studio I can start a IE debug session on Windows Phone, if I Then replace the Dropbox.isBrowserSupported() function by :

function() { return true; }

The dropbox file chooser works as expected.

So my proposel would be to finetune the isBrowserSupported function to enable Windows Phone 8.1,
useragents for IE11 on Windows Phone 8.1 can be found here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh869301(v=vs.85).aspx

Tyhrstan, we can't reproduce this behavior. I've created a simple page (http://wpchooser.site44.com/) that overrides isBrowserSupported as you did, and it doesn't seem to work on the Windows Phone 8.1 device I'm testing on.

Would you mind trying that same page to see if it works for you? If so, could you provide details about the device you're testing with?

Hi Steve,

I've looked at the site.. and at first I couldn't reproduce it as well.

But it seems that the Alert() function isn't working. the screen freezes,

When debugging the page I stepped over the alert function and executed: $('#clickme').text('Worked: ' + files[0].link); This showed the selected file in de click button.

What device are you using?

I'm using a Lumia 920, using Visual Studio I can start a debugging IE session on my phone.

Would you mind browsing to http://www.whatsmyua.com/ and copying the user agent? I'm trying to figure out why this would work on your device and not ours.

Hi,

My useragent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; Windows Phone 8.1; Android 4.0; ARM; Trident/7.0; Touch; rv:11.0; IEMobile/11.0; NOKIA; Lumia 920) like iPhone OS 7_0_3 Mac OS X AppleWebKit/537 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile Safari/537

{
  "ua": "Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; Windows Phone 8.1; Android 4.0; ARM; Trident/7.0; Touch; rv:11.0; IEMobile/11.0; NOKIA; Lumia 920) like iPhone OS 7_0_3 Mac OS X AppleWebKit/537 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile Safari/537",
  "browser": {
    "name": "IEMobile",
    "version": "11.0",
    "major": "11"
  },
  "engine": {
    "name": "Trident",
    "version": "7.0"
  },
  "os": {
    "name": "Windows Phone",
    "version": "8.1"
  },
  "device": {
    "model": "Lumia 920",
    "vendor": "Nokia",
    "type": "mobile"
  },
  "cpu": {}
}

My Lumia 920 runs:
Windows Phone 8.1 Update
version: 8.10.14234.375

with the Lumia Denim update

It's possible the Lumia Denim update is the important difference. The page fails in the tests I've done, so we can't enable it for all Windows Phone 8.1 users. I think that for now we'll leave things as-is.
