Dropbox login problem in android webview.
Android App (WebView) : Url Call
WebView1.LoadUrl("https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=" & MyDropboxID & "&response_type=token&redirect_uri=http://127.0.0.1/")
I was logged in normally in the Android app until January 20, 2022.
I cannot log in from the Android app after January 21, 2022.
When I click [sign in] or [New to Dropbox? Create an account],
nothing happens on the screen.
If I directly enter the login address in the address bar of the Google Chrome app,
the login screen appears normally.
It does not work only in Android webview.
Android webview worked normally until a few days ago.
All users who use my app cannot log in.
How can I solve this problem?

Dropbox does not support processing the OAuth app authorization flow in a web view. The OAuth app authorization flow should be processed in the user's system browser. See here for more information:
