Objective-C V2 SDK thread safety

I am just in the middle of implementing a syncing solution using the Obj-C V2 SDK.   I have a couple of concurrent threads. One for checking for (and downloading) any remote changes, and another ...

Hey Mark, check out the latest version of the SDK, v.3.0.8. It is now thread-safe. You should be able to make requests from any thread.

 

Let me know if you run into any issues!

Fantastic! Just to confirm, I manually added the subproject, so to update to 3.0.8 is it at simple as doing:

 

carthage update --platform iOS

or is there anything else required?

    That depends on what you have specified in your Cartfile. If you have a specific version number or range set, you may need to update that before you call update.

    But yes, once you have your Cartfile configured as desired, just run "carthage update --platform iOS" to update. You can then check the console output or Cartfile.resolved file to see exactly what version was installed.

      Thanks, I have 

       

      github "https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c" ~> 3.0.3

      in my Cartfile. I only installed Carthage to use this framework so not too familiar with it yet. The 'resolved' file seems to imply that 3.0.8 is now installed, so I think it is all good.

       

      It would be good if the framework could output its version number upon initialisation. I have had problems in the past with accidentally using the wrong versions of libraries and it would be useful and reassuring to get confirmation of the version number at runtime.

       

      I will monitor this version to see how it behaves, but no problems so far.
