After the fail, control doesn't return from Chrome to the app automatically. So it happens nothing inside the app and it doesn't get any response outside. If you can suggest how I can obtain the desired information please tell me. I'll gladly do that.

In that case, can you share:

  • the Dropbox library or SDK you're using, including the version number
  • the code snippet you call to start the flow that isn't working
  • the URL of the page in Chrome

Thanks!

      Thanks! That's helpful. It looks like this is due to an issue on our side with using scoped apps with the authorization flow from that mobile SDK. We'll work on that. 

       

      For now, you'll need to use a non-scoped ("legacy") Dropbox API app with Full Dropbox access. I'll follow up here once this flow is resolved for scoped apps though.

        Scoped apps should be working on mobile now.
