iOS SDK (Obj-C) authorisation with dropbox app installed produces error (app needs to be updated)
Hi everybody! I'm using the iOS SDK installed with cocoapods to authorise a user in order to upload files to DB. This works, as long as the DB-App isn't installed on my device (the authorisation...
Hi Greg
Thanks for your reply.
I checked my plist file and everything's as described in the document you linked to.
I am using the latest iOS-version.
One thing: When the DB-App is not installed, the authorisation flow works perfectly.
Now I saw in the document, that there should be a way to use «Safari view controller auth» instead of «Direct auth». But the document doesn't say how I'd implement this. I'd prefer to go with that approach since it proved to work before. Any hints how to tell my app to use Safari instead of the DB-app?
[Edit]
I just saw in another thread (from 2017) that the Safari auth can't be forced. Is this still the case?
Is the name I gave my app in the DB dev-console somehow related to the app's name in XCode?
Plus: The delegate method application:openUrl:options is never called when the DB app tries to re-open my app. This just an FYI...

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for following up. I'm glad to hear you got this sorted out.
Just for reference, to answer your questions:
The SDK still doesn't offer an option to force the browser flow, but it sounds like that's no longer needed in your case anyway since you got this working.
While the app name you register on Dropbox should match the app name you use in Xcode, etc. (to avoid confusing users), it doesn't directly affect any such functionality.
