Dropbox api redirecting/opening the wrong Mac OS app
Why is the Dropbox api redirecting to the wrong app? I created a desktop Mac OS app called "DBMacApp" for testing purposes. I worked through the tutorial at https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sd...

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe app authorization flow redirect is directed by the db-<APP_KEY> URL scheme registered in an app's plist file, in the CFBundleURLTypes section.
It sounds like you have the same app key registered in both DBMacApp and ezReceiptMac, causing the undesired redirect. Since DBMacApp was just for testing, the easiest solution is to just delete it. If you do want to keep it around for further testing, you should update it to put in a different app key instead.
My Mac OS app is sandboxed so once I enabled "Incoming" and "Outgoing" Connections and cleaned the project it worked... well sort of.
When I try to Allow a connection to Dropbox with the new app "ezReceiptMac" using the below code snippet I now get: Do you want to allow this page to open “(null)”? Cancel/Allow.
If I choose "Allow" I am never directed back to the app. Why would it be saying "null" for the app name?
