iOS 9.3 Objective Dropbox Official not redirecting to login

In my app, I am testing a migration to v2 and the authorization works very well on the simulator. But once I run the app on my ipod (iOS 9.3), I notice that the only console message I get is  2017-...

    Thanks, it sounds like it is probably specific to that device then. Do you have any restrictions/parental controls enabled on that device currently by any chance?

    For reference, I've determined that it's the "Websites" > "Specific Websites Only" (without Dropbox allowed) that causes this. I'll ask the team to look into making this fail with some feedback.

I'm using v2 SDK. I cloned the master branch on github.

Also tried to run DBRoulette with cocoapods on the troublesome device (ipod iOS model A1421 version 9.3) and it had the same issue when trying to link my dropbox account.

      Great, I'm glad to hear that's solved.

      Can you let us know what setting specifically was doing it? We can look into it to see if we can detect this scenario and expose an error message in the future.

        Unfortunately I don't have the specific restriction that was causing it, I know that once I disabled parental controls on Settings/General/Restrictions the app was able to load the external login page.
