Request Body: could not decode input as JSON)
Hi! Am using a simple call:
```
client.files.listFolder(path: "", recursive: false, includeMediaInfo: false, includeDeleted: false).response { response, error in
if let listFolderResult = response {
print("These are the entries in the main folder:")
print(listFolderResult.entries)
}
else {
print("Error listing folder:")
print(error)
}
}
```
but it seems like even this doesn't work. I get the following message:
```
Optional([request-id 98201723db4f6b61cab0ca9ed2c3209b] Bad Input: Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": request body: could not decode input as JSON)
```
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the report. This is a known issue with version 2.0.3 that we're working on.
In the meantime, you can work around this by downgrading to 2.0.2 for now.

This should be fixed now in release 3.0.0.

LS,
I'm developing a mobile app with Xamarin and its trivial that Dropbox gets integrated.
Ref: https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/04/a-preview-of-the-new-dropbox-api-v2/
Now "users/get_current_account" works like a charm, but if i try "/files/list_folder" with "{\"path\": \"\"}" as body, the response i get is "Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": request body: could not decode input as JSON", whilst using fiddler.
Am i overlooking something (obvious)?
Can someone give me more info on this?

Hi Jeff, for future reference, please only post once per issue. Also, this thread was about using the SwiftyDropbox. It sounds like you're not using that, so if you still need help, please start a new thread. Also, please show the request for the failing API call in your new thread. Thanks!
