iOS, UIDocumentPickerViewController export, and Dropbox 38.2.2/38.3.4

My iOS app uses UIDocumentPickerViewController to export files from my app to a user's Dropbox account. This has been working just fine. It worked for me just a short time ago with an older version o...

I am experiencing the same bug.  Any selection of a folder always calls the documentMenuWasCancelled method.

    I have exactly the same problem. I cannot export anymore because when you tap "Save to Personal" or whatever folder you're saving to, the 

    `documentPickerWasCancelled` method is called and the upload does not happen. It works fine uploading to other cloud services. Just not Dropbox. I've tried it with iCloud Drive and OneDrive and they both upload the file and call `didPickDocumentAtURL` after the file is uploaded.

     

    Is this a bug in my code or a bug with the latest Dropbox client? I haven't touched this code in quite a long time and it's now suddenly not working.

     

    Thanks,

      Brendan - All evidence indicates it is an issue with the last two updates to the Dropbox app and not your application. We just need to wait for Dropbox to fix this issue with their app.

        Hi Rick,

         

        Yes, that does seem to be the case. At least I can point customers to this discussion as a bit of proof that it's not just my app :)

         

        Thanks for initiating this thread.
