Dropbox Core API mobile platform in C#
I'm making a mobile application using Xamarin where I want my user to authorize them to Dropbox folder. I learned that there are several C# libraries used for Dropbox integration. But everything (DropNet, DropboxRestAPI etc) seems to have been built for integrating into the web applications and not in the mobile applications.
Here is what I'm trying to achieve.
- Authorize Dropbox using the dropbox application installed on the phone and not by launching the browser in the mobile app
- Get the request token
- Exchange the request token into access token
Is there any way I can do this?

The Dropbox application on Windows Phone doesn't support #1, sorry. We'll consider this a feature request, but for now you'll need to use the native browser on the device or an embedded browser control in your app.
@Steve, I forgot to tell you that, I'm using xamarin for developing iOS applications and not for the windows phone. So according your lines, #1 doesn't support on windows phone but should do on iPhone I believe.
Could you please help me on that?- Steve M.
Oh, sorry. There's no documentation for the protocol used to talk to the Dropbox app on the phone, but you might want to take a look at the source code for the iOS Core SDK to see how it works.
