The official Dropbox API v2 .NET/C# SDK doesn't officially support Xamarin/iOS unfortunately, so it doesn't implement the app authorization flow where the official Dropbox iOS app is used (via dbapi-2).

Further, that flow where the official Dropbox iOS app is used is only meant for use by the official Dropbox iOS SDKs (i.e., the Objective-C SDK, as you mentioned, and the Swift SDK). That being the case, it's not officially documented, and accordingly I don't have any resources to share on how to manually implement it, nor can I recommend doing so (since it's not officially documented/supported for non-official SDKs). I'll send that along as a feature request though. Apologies I can't be of more help!
