My request was denied because the app name doesn't match the plugin name.
Unfortunately, this name is already taken and I can't do anything about it

4 years agosimatec1976 I just checked on this, and it looks like you already have an open support ticket for that, so they'll follow up with you there soon.

thx for your support.
Yes, I opened a ticket or replied to the rejection by email.
Unfortunately, the app can only be checked if you install the iot system iobroker.That means there is no website or access to test it.
The whole thing is integrated in the plugin backitup for the iobroker. - simatec19764 years agoExplorer | Level 3
I've come a long way now.
However, I'm hanging on refresh_token with PKCE.
How can I do a refresh with the VERIFICATION_CODE.
I didn't want to work with client_secret.
with client_secret the example looks like this:
curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \ -d grant_type=refresh_token \ -d refresh_token=<REFRESH_TOKEN> \ -u <APP_KEY>:<APP_SECRET>
Is there also a way to refresh_token with the VERIFICATION_CODE instead of the client_secret?I really don't want the client_secet in the Source code

Hey simatec1976
To use the /oauth2/token with a refresh token that was retrieved via the PKCE flow to get a new short-lived access token without using the app secret would look like this:
curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \ -d refresh_token=<REFRESH_TOKEN> \ -d grant_type=refresh_token \ -d client_id=<APP_KEY>
