Dropbox authentication on iPhone X
My App's Dropbox authentication is failing on iPhone X and iOS 11. I still do not know the root cause and am just doing an initial inquiry here to learn if there is a known issue. What I can say is ...
- Thanks for digging in and tracking this down already! I'm glad to hear you figured this out. Calling authorizeFromController twice would indeed cause this. Enforcing a single call is the right thing to do given the unexpected viewDidAppear behavior.

I've restructured the Dropbox authentication flow slightly in light of the iPhone / iPad differences I found. I’ve used Dropbox in this App since 2011, so I’m surprised I didn’t see this issue earlier, although I must note that the viewDidAppear:animated code was added 2017.05.22 - this was my great API 1 --> API 2 commit! This Dropbox App vs. Dropbox web authentication issue might have really existed for the last 6 months and I never noticed it. I’ll have a definitive answer whenever I can borrow a non-iPhone X and see if viewDidAppear:animated is invoked once or twice.
Thanks again for your help.
