UWP Webview and Token Authorization
Since Dropbox has decided to nix support for Edge 18, which has made the UWP Webview control useless for authorization to get a token, is there a workable solution for UWP?
I have not found a way for a UWP app to launch the external browser, perform the OAuth2 flow, and then listen for the redirect URL in response to retrieve the token. I have examined this page, but it applies to WPF desktop apps or ASP web apps and the HttpListener does not work in UWP without special permissions or command lines:

Is there ANY workable solution for a UWP app to authorize a user to get a token to upload/download files to Dropbox storage from a UWP app that works out of the box?
More information regarding the issues with Webview and Edge 18 I found here which confirms multiple users are being affected:

Thanks for following up. No, unfortunately I don't believe there's a way to close that page. I'll send this along to the team to see if we can improve this in the future, but I can't make any promises.
