Migrating App Permissions & Access Tokens
Hi there,
I have an Android app which uses a dedicated Dropbox folder. I just want to check that when I use the App Console to migrate to the new SLT model, the current access tokens that my us...

Dropbox Community ModeratorThat particular error message doesn't sound expected. Can you share a screenshot? Also, if that's occurring in the browser, please share the URL of the page that's failing. Or, if that's occurring in the official Dropbox Android app, please share the version of the the official Dropbox Android app you have installed. Thanks!
Hi Greg,
This is happening when I execute the following line in my Android app:
Auth.startOAuth2PKCE(context, app_key, DbxRequestConfigFactory.getRequestConfig(), scope);
I attach 2 screenshots below, the first when my app asks to authenticate (using the above code) and the second when I tap 'Allow' which is when the error happens. I think these screenshots are from Android webview rather than via the Android Dropbox app (which is version 214.2.6). I can't get the URL from Android webview as it is not shown to the user. This is running on a Samsung S10e with Android 10.
Just to add: I am requesting
"account_info.read", "files.content.read", "files.content.write"

I see, thanks, that's helpful. Yes, it looks like this is because this "JabpSync" app hasn't been migrated to use scopes yet, but this startOAuth2PKCE method does set scopes. Apologies for the generic error message though. I'll ask the team if we can get a better error returned in that case.
Anyway, to address this, you will need to migrate your app to scopes first (or use a different app key, for a scoped app, for development for now).
Thanks, this answers all my questions I had on integrating the new short-lived tokens. Btw. very easy to use Android-SDK implementation!
