    Ah, Podfile specified iOS plath '8.0' instead of '9.0'. That fixed the problem!

    Thanks much :)

Hi Pete, I just tried your code (commenting out the 'Common', etc. lines) and it worked correctly for me. I.e., fileContents wasn't nil.

What version of the SDK do you have installed? There was a bug like this in an older version. If you don't have the latest version, currently 3.3.2, please update to that and let me know if you're still seeing this issue. Thanks!

    Hmm, 'pod' shows 'Using ObjectiveDropboxOfficial (3.0.15)'.  Now the question is why pod doesn't update to the latest?

      You'll need to run `pod update` to update your pods. Also make sure your Podfile looks like the example (and isn't locked to a specific version) in order to make sure `pod update` will give you the latest version:
