Also, here is my code in my ConnectToDropboxViewController where I begin the authorization flow:

    @IBAction func connectToDropboxButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {

Thanks! I don't see anything clearly wrong here. 

It sounds like it's working now, but let me know if you are able to reproduce the issue again unexpectedly. 

For reference, you should be able to intentionally cause that by e.g., unlinking the app, or deleting the app folder (if you're using an app with the app folder permission).
