When authentication completes, user gets mail that says he logged in using AppleMail
Our app runs on macOS and is written in Objective C, so we use this call to initiate authentication for a new user:
[DropboxClientsManager authorizeFromControllerDesktop:[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace]
controller:viewController
openURL:^(NSURL *url){ [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:url]; }
browserAuth:NO];
As you can see, we are passing NO for browserAuth, so an embedded web view is used by the SDK to do the login, rather than launching the browser application.
When the authentication completes successfully, the user receives an email from Dropbox with the title: New login from AppleMail on Mac OS X. The email contains this text:
We noticed you logged into Dropbox using AppleMail on Mac OS X at 10:01 AM GMT-05:00 from Davison, MI, United States.
Why does this email tell the user he logged in using AppleMail rather than our app? Is there some way we can control the application name that is reported in this email?
Thanks!

Thanks for the report! That's based on the User-Agent of the browser used, so it looks like we need to improve the detection there. We'll look into it. Would be great if the message could (also) reference the product using the API, since that will give the user a lot more context regarding the email.
- Greg-DBThanks! I'll send that request along as well.
- Greg-DBQuick update here, the email now includes the app name, so this should be less confusing for users. Hope this helps!
That's excellent -- thanks very much for adding that!
