How do I upload a file to my dropbox apps folder in dropbox in objective c?

How do I go about making sure that my account is linked properly? I am using the Facebook SDK in my app as well. Do you think it is a problem that I had to hack together (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)app openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)source annotation:(id)annotation method in order to please both API's like this 

• (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation {

  return [FBAppCall handleOpenURL:url

                sourceApplication:sourceApplication

                      withSession:[PFFacebookUtils session]] && [[DBSession sharedSession] handleOpenURL:url] && [[DBSession sharedSession] isLinked];

}

Instead of doing this like in the tutorial

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication \*)app openURL:(NSURL \*)url
 sourceApplication:(NSString \*)source annotation:(id)annotation {
    if ([[DBSession sharedSession] handleOpenURL:url]) {
        if ([[DBSession sharedSession] isLinked]) {
            NSLog(@"App linked successfully!");
            // At this point you can start making API calls
        }
        return YES;
    }
    // Add whatever other url handling code your app requires here
    return NO;
}  

In addition, what would be considered calling in the background thread as oppose to calling in the main thread?

In my app delegate method I checked to see if the session was linked and from my test the logs states that my session is linked.

if ([[DBSession sharedSession] isLinked]) {

    NSLog(@"The session IS linked");

  } else {

    NSLog(@"The session is not linked");

  }

I have checked my app console and is says that one users is connected to the app and it also says that I made one API call yesterday. However I don't see the test  image that I wast trying to upload to dropbox. I am wondering if  I am uploading the file incorrectly. This is my upload method

• (void)uploadToDropBox:(UIImage *)img

{

  UIImage *testPic = [UIImage imageNamed:@"IMG_0005.jpg"];

  NSArray *directories = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,

                                                             NSUserDomainMask,

                                                             YES);

  NSString *documentDirectory = [directories firstObject];

  NSString *imagePath = [documentDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"cardImage"];

  NSString *destDir = @"/";

  NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(testPic);

  [imageData writeToFile:imagePath atomically: YES];

  [self.restClient uploadFile:@"cardImage" toPath:destDir withParentRev:nil fromPath:imagePath];

  [self sendBDayCard];

}

You may want to check that [UIImage imageNamed:@"IMG\_0005.jpg"] exists in your project and that it is getting saved to your local filesystem correctly. Another thing to check would be that your uploadToDropBox: method is getting called at all.

Also, have you implemented the uploadedFile and uploadFileFailedWithError delegates as described in https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/start/ios#uploading?

If the error delegate is called, you should be able to see exactly what failed.

Hello

I'm trying out the sdk using a generated access token but I keep getting an "Access token not found" error even though the token works fine in android.

Here is my case (swift):

let dropboxSession = DBSession(appKey: DB_KEY, appSecret: DB_SECRET, root: kDBRootAppFolder)
dropboxSession.updateAccessToken(DB_ACCESS_TOKEN, accessTokenSecret: DB_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET, forUserId: DB_USER_ID)
DBSession.setSharedSession(dropboxSession)

So I'd appreciate to know what "DB_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET" should be since the generated token is a single string?

Mitchel, your issue doesn't seem related to the one in this thread. Please start a new thread.
