To clarify, are you the programmer or an end-user of the app in question? If you are not the programmer of the app, you'll need to reach out to them for help.

 

For reference, the "offline" flow itself works, but it is something that would need to be implemented by the programmer of the app. In any case, the creation of new long-lived access tokens is being phased out and so may not be available for any given app.

I'm not the programmer, and the programmer is struggling to understand the dropbox document so i'm sort of asking on behalf of him. the above question was raised by the developer so I'm simply dropped it here.

    Thanks for clarifying. In that case, please have the developer contact us directly if they need help implementing this. The specifics will depend on their existing code, platform, language, etc. They can contact us privately here if they prefer.

        The decision you have made about making changes on your platform is a delay. It functioned way more better before these changes were made.
