Updating a very old app to Java SDK 7.0.0
In preparation for the 2026 deadline on updating my Android app to the Dropbox 7.0.0 Java SDK, I changed the dependencies from the very old dropbox-core-sdk:3.1.5 to:

The Dropbox Java SDK offers (in both older versions and the current version) the ability to use a custom "requestor" (essentially the network client used to perform the actual network requests to the Dropbox API servers). That enables more control over how the requests are handled.
That's not required though; you can certainly use the default functionality if that works for your use case.
As to why you had that previously, I can't say for sure. You may have previously needed or planned to use OkHttp functionality in particular, or otherwise just happened to write the code based on an OkHttp sample.

Additional information: When it crashed I was still linking with an older version of OKHTTP3 (version 3.10.0). When I updated to version 4.12.0, the Dropbox OAuth v2 flow worked fine without a crash. There is no specific functionality in OKHTTP3 that I need, so I may still remove it just to be safe.
