What is causing dropbox error 401
I just created a new app within dropbox, ( I already had code working for a different account and a different app ) I'm linking the dropbox account in the application delegate
NSString* appKey = @"mqwun9ewe89n8yla";
NSString* appSecret = @"07basa4txiewewqo6k";
NSString *root = kDBRootDropbox;
( these are fake keys )
and the linking goes ok, then at some later point I try to create a folder with
[self.restClient createFolder:@"/TestClient"];
but I keep getting the error
"The operation couldn’t be completed. (dropbox.com error 401.)" UserInfo=0x170c75680 {path=/TestClient, root=dropbox, error=No auth method found.}
I created two different application one with App permissions and one with root dropbox permissions, but I get the erro no matter what. What am I doing wrong?

The error message is "No auth method found", meaning the API didn't receive an authorization method, which in the case of the iOS Core SDK, as you appear to be using, should be OAuth 1 signing with a valid access token. That should be mostly done for you, as long as you followed the tutorial.
Can you share the rest of the relevant code? (E.g., where you have the user link the app, set up the session, and set up the client?)
