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!!!!
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.

Dropbox Community ModeratorI 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.
- Greg-DBIn this code, you have `open url` inside your `didFinishLaunchingWithOptions`, but it should just be its own method in your app delegate. There's a sample here:
