Reinstalling new Dropbox code for iOS.
My iOS app did use Dropbox. I downloaded new version and compiled with XCode. Architecture issues. Can I simply move ObjectiveDropboxOfficial.framework and headers into my app and use it?

To clarify, do you mean you had one of the Dropbox SDKs for API v1 (originally called the "Core SDK" or "Sync SDK") installed in your app?
The Dropbox API v2 Objective-C SDK is not a drop-in replacement for those. You'll need to follow the instructions in the documentation here to install it and update your code accordingly:

ems, and Cocopods.- Greg-DBThanks for the clarification and feedback! We don't have a drop-in replacement like that unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
- That's what you said last year. Nothing has changed.
- Greg-DBYes, that request is still open, but the team has not implemented this. I'm afraid I'm not aware of any current plans to do so and I can't promise that it is something they will work on in the future.
