Dropbox Community ModeratorIt sounds like you're using the iOS Core SDK, for Dropbox API v1. Dropbox API v1 is deprecated and being retired in a few months.
You should migrate to API v2 whenever you can. I recommend using the official API v2 Objective-C SDK.
This is technically possible with the iOS Core SDK as well though. You can store an existing access token using DBSession.updateAccessToken:
- (void)updateAccessToken:(NSString *)token accessTokenSecret:(NSString *)secret forUserId:(NSString *)userId;
You can then init a DBRestClient for that user normally.
Yes, i user the same method for reauthenticate, but i do not know what i need to call once it is autheticate from this method to fetch dropbox folder. My code is bellow
v1AccessToken i am storing in the sever and accessing when i start my app.
if(v1AccessToken.length>0) { // [[DBSession sharedSession] updateAccessToken:v1AccessToken accessTokenSecret:v1AccessTokenSecret forUserId:ui]; [[DBSession sharedSession] updateAccessToken:@"" accessTokenSecret:@"" forUserId:@""]; if([DBSession sharedSession] != nil) { NSLog(@"Reauthenticating"); [self performSelector:@selector(fetchAllDropboxData) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.2]; }how i can fetch the folder once it is authenticate usign this method. KInldy help me with coding part.

- Greg-DBOnce you've set the access token, you can get a DBRestClient using DBRestClient.initWithSession. From there, you use the client normally:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/start/iosHi Greg, I am using it in this way. But after all that it shows me that it session is expired and do you want to relink it.
if (![[DBSession sharedSession] isLinked]) { [[DBSession sharedSession] updateAccessToken:@"" accessTokenSecret:@"" forUserId:@""]; self.restClient = [[DBRestClient alloc] initWithSession:[DBSession sharedSession]]; self.restClient.delegate = self; NSLog(@"Reauthenticating"); [self performSelector:@selector(fetchAllDropboxData) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.2]; // [[DBSession sharedSession] linkFromController:self]; { YourClientsViewController *control = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"YourClientsViewController"]; [self.navigationController pushViewController:control animated:YES]; } else { [[DBSession sharedSession] linkFromController:self]; UIAlertView *view = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Account Login!" message:@"Your dropbox account has been login" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil]; [view show]; if (!loadData) { loadData = @""; } // [MBProgressHUD showHUDAddedTo:self.view animated:YES]; [self performSelector:@selector(fetchAllDropboxData) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.2]; }
Can you please help me to modify this code so that it will work.
