Dropbox V2 Obj-C Installation Query

I followed the instructions on github to 'Manually add subproject' into Xcode with the help of Carthage. This all appears to work fine, but I am confused as to where it is picking the Dropbox framewo...

Hi Greg. That is not actually the case. The subproject builds the framework to a folder called something like:

 

/Users/{Name}/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/App-emiqpeodictxkuhelynkbahkugza/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos

 

This is the one that seems to be in the 'Linked Frameworks and Libraries' area.

Sorry for the confusion here. You should not be using the one that Carthage builds, but instead the one that is built by your subproject (I think it's the only one you'll have access to when you do the following steps):

 

In the Project Navigator in Xcode, select your project, and then navigate to your project's build target > General > Embedded Binaries > + and then add the ObjectiveDropboxOfficial.framework file for the macOS platform.

 

(read more in the SDK docs here)

    Hi. This is actually iOS, not Mac, but I presume the point is the same that it should use the framework built by the subproject.

     

    This confirmation was what I needed since I am still using v3.0.8 of the SDK as I need to support iOS 8 for the time being. I was getting a crash report from the SDK that was easy enough to fix in the code, but was not sure whether users would get the version with the fix or the version built by Carthage, so this hopefully clears it up.

      Ah ok, yeah this still applies, even when the platform is iOS.

       

      As far as the crash, would you mind sharing the error message or stacktrace?

       

      Also, for my own curiosity's sake, at what point do you think you will consider dropping support for iOS 8 (which now constitutes < 3% of all iOS users)?

        The crash is already fixed in a later release. It was a route method which was not checking for 'nil' data.

         

        Due to the fact that turning off the V1 API will make the Pro Upgrade in my app useless for some people, I wanted to get the initial migration update out to as many people as possible. I have sacrificed the iOS 7 users, but still have a reasonable number of iOS 8 users (due to a large user base), so I decided to support them. I will probably drop support for iOS 8 once iOS 11 is out.
