Unable to obtain access token
Hi!
I'm a BlackBerry 10 dev and almost done in developing fully-featured Dropbox client with API v2 for BB10 since the official app has retired.
At that moment I have to complete a few things before the app will be finished. One of them: obtaining access token.
I send an address to mobile browser:
https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&client_id={my_id}&redirect_uri={my_uri}
Browser opens, but... Screen is empty, only white background! Nothing displayed. When I send this URL on a desktop browser all is working fine: I can accept permissions and so on. The problem happens only on mobile BB10 browser. I examined in debug mode what is going on in the browser's console and found some JS errors:
I think this error breaks the auth page on my BB.
Could you guys from Dropbox team fix this problem? I already made a ton of work on my app (used service access token obtained from my profile) and it will be very sad if all the work will be destroyed because of a small thing. I hope you can quick fix this on your side by adding some meta info in your HTML oauth page and the problem may disappear.
Thanks!

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately the BB10 browser is not officially supported by the Dropbox web site:

That being the case, I'm afraid we can't offer a fix. Apologies I don't have better news for you!
