SwiftyDropBox Auth flow issue
I'm following the SwiftyDropbox documentation for my project, and have gotten as far as having my app switch to authenticating via the Dropbox app and switching back into my app. However, the ...
Greg, that was the issue! Thanks kindly, and I wish I'd noticed that myself so I could have saved us both some time. Oy!!!!
Hi Greg,
When I put a print statement directly after 'open url' and immediately before 'handleRedirectURL', the print statement is not executed (even after successfully authenticating to Dropbox and switching back to my app).
Is there any other debugging I can do?

Dropbox Community ModeratorI just tried this with the same versions of SwiftyDropbox and iOS, and it is working properly for me. Unfortunately if it's not getting called at all, it sounds like an issue with iOS itself, so I can't offer much help, and you may need to debug this on Apple's side.
Can you check that you only have one `open url` definition though? If you have two by accident it may only call one of them.

Only a single 'open url' definition in the project, so that's not the issue. Oh well, I'll forego Dropbox support for the time being and hope that an update sorts things out.
Thanks kindly for your time and help.

- Greg-DBI wasn't able to reproduce this myself, but if you can provide a sample project that reproduces the issue, we'll look into it.
Sure. I created a dummy project to test, and I get the same result. This tells me I've got to be missing something fundmental.
ViewController:
import UIKit
import SwiftyDropbox
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBAction func launchAuth(_ sender: Any) {
authenticateToDropBox()
}
@IBAction func testClient(_ sender: Any) {
if let _ = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient {
print("Got client.")
} else {
print("No client.")
}
}
// Dropbox stuff
fileprivate func authenticateToDropBox() {
if DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient == nil {
DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController(UIApplication.shared,
controller: self,
openURL: { (url: URL) -> Void in
UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
})
}
}
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
if DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient == nil {
DropboxClientsManager.setupWithAppKey("<redacted>")
}
// Setup redirect back into app after Dropbox auth
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
print("open URL getting called")
if let authResult = DropboxClientsManager.handleRedirectURL(url) {
switch authResult {
case .success:
print("Success! User is logged into Dropbox.")
case .cancel:
print("Authorization flow was manually canceled by user!")
case .error(_, let description):
print("Error: \(description)")
}
}
return true
}
return true
}
When I click the first button (launchAuth), I am taken to the authentication dialog, where I log in. I click 'Allow' and am returned to my app. When I click the second button (testClient), I get nil for the authorizedClient (i.e., prints 'No client').
Thanks and let me know if something's missing.
