Obj-C API-2 equivalent of client.create_oauth2_access_token()

What is the Obj-C API-2 equivalent of the (for example, from python) client.create_oauth2_access_token() ?   i.e. how to automatically (for the user) transition an OAuth 1 token to OAuth 2 token? ...

    Great, that shouldn't be a problem. That endpoint should be implemented in the SDK the next time the SDK is regenerated and released, which should be well before June.

The create_oauth2_access_token method in the Python SDK for API v1 uses the /1/oauth2/token_from_oauth1 endpoint, which is signed with OAuth 1. You can continue using this method/endpoint while API v1 is available

 

The Official Objective-C SDK for Dropbox API v2 only uses OAuth 2, so it can't use that endpoint. 

 

We did recently introduce a new API v2 endpoint, /2/auth/token/from_oauth1, to support this OAuth 1 access token to OAuth 2 access token in migration, but that hasn't been added to the SDK yet.

Hi Greg, thanks for the reply.

If it is planned, I'd be happy to wait. We have some time before June 2017. It would safe us thousands of support emails.

      Happy ending for Obj-C after all. That's great thanks.
