I am attempting to integrate Dropbox into my SwiftUI project. In the AppDelegate func(application...) I am getting an error stating that setupWithAppKey(<APP_KEY>) is not a member type of DropboxCl...

Dropbox Community ModeratorThis particular error should depend on the app key value you pass to setupWithAppKey (not the instance you set in the plist).
Can you confirm you're passing your app key (and just the app key) to DropboxClientsManager.setupWithAppKey? Note that <APP_KEY> is just a placeholder for demonstration purposes, and you should not include the angle brackets in your actual code. (If you include the angle brackets, or other invalid characters, that would result in an invalid URL string which would cause the URL initializer to return nil which would cause the unwrapping error you're getting.)
To be clear, it would look like this:
DropboxClientsManager.setupWithAppKey("abc123")where abc123 would be replaced with your actual app key.
Hi Greg, sorry for the radio silence but Xcode decided to update the simulator which then refused to boot. However, taking your last advice and running the app on my iPhone I got to the opening screen asking to login to Dropbox. Progress. Unfortunately there seems to be a problem in the plist scheme which I will try to resolve. The appkey is not recognised. I will let you know how I get on with both these issues. I do enjoy coding but it drives me crazy sometimes
Hi Greg
OK, solved the issue with Xcode and simulators. The issue I have with SwiftyDropbox has now moved on to the logon. I get a message saying I need to add identifier to the URL Types. When I add URL Types in the infoList I have
What to type into Identifier and URL Schemes?

Ignore my last message, I have resolved those issues and I can now login to my Dropbox account. What I don't understand is how to programatically access my App folder and then how to create a new folder. Reading Github I see a construct like:
client.files.createFolder(path: "\test\path\in\Dropbox\account". response etc
My question is what will my path be, the above looks like a generalised example.

It looks like you're referring to this example here. That does show a made up example path, but note that paths in Dropbox use "/" as the path separator like shown in that example, not "\".
Paths in Dropbox will be relative to some root, based on the app and configuration. For apps with the app folder access type, the paths are automatically relative to the app folder. So, if you want to make a folder named "NewFolder" inside the app folder, you would supply a path of "/NewFolder". If you wanted to list the contents of that new folder (which would be empty initially), you would start by supplying a path of "/NewFolder" to listFolder. Or to start listing the contents of the app folder itself, you would supply a path of the empty string "" to listFolder.
The File Access Guide may be helpful to review for more information on how to interact with files and folders on the Dropbox API.
