    The SwiftyDropbox SDK should already be compliant with Apple's rules. For example, it does already use SFSafariViewController on iOS. (Make sure you're using the latest version of SwiftyDropbox though, currently v4.2.1.)

    You mentioned that this is for macOS though. To my understanding, macOS does not offer SFSafariViewController. This seems to be confirmed by the SFSafariViewController documentation, which only lists iOS, not macOS:

    I recommend requesting clarification from Apple on this.

    Apple let the App through after i referenced the Dropbox SDK, which states that opening a browser is the only auth method on macOS. It was enough to answer to them. It took 2 Days for them react.

    Thank You for your help.
