Getting refreshed access token from Generated access tokem

Yes this is for few of our client. We will provide them tokens manually and they have to enter it to get access. So in such case is it possible to refresh the token from the mobile side without oAuth flow?.

Yes, it is. Once refresh token is available the refresh can be done on any platform; not only on mobile (as a process it's the same; just a call to Dropbox server whenever needed without any user interaction). 😉

How I will get the refresh token from generated token? Or you are suggesting some other approach?

is there any sample available for objective-c dropbox SDK?

I know that using oAuth flow tokens are refreshed automatically by DB SDK. But in my case what is the solution?

Thanks,

The same. 😉 Once you get to the authentication info just save it and embedding. That's it. Take a look on the description if you have something forgotten.

Hi Здравко ,

Is there a way I can make Generated token with "No expiration"?

Like how it was earlier.

Hi Здравко ,

i get refreshed token using this , and i believe refresh tokens doest expire.

How I can make the DBUserClient, initWithAccessToken call with this refresh token to get access to my dropbox.

similar to , 

 client = [[DBUserClient alloc] initWithAccessToken:@"I5wqb1d...."];

Can you provide any code sample in objective c to do this? I found with methods with initWithAccessToken which takes in refresh token param but didn't understand much of it.

No unfortunately, the method 'initWithAccessToken' (any of them) doesn't provide so simple way (don't ask me why; if I have to bet, it's cause Obj-C supposes to be used for client side apps - i.e. with OAuth flow). The method mentioned doesn't receive refresh token directly as a string, but does accept token provider object which on its own can be initialized with 'DBAccessToken' object (don't ask me why this class names so). The last object can represent variety authentication info (non restricted to simple access token).

So first you can create 'DBAccessToken' object using appropriate constructor. Next a client object initialization can be done as performed here. Warning: Select proper transport config, matching to the way that you have used for the refresh token (it's good idea to get a refresh token using PKCE instead)! Mistake for the methods in use will make refresh fails.

Good luck.
