    <title>topic V2 web authentication - option to create an account? in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/V2-web-authentication-option-to-create-an-account/m-p/213583#M10864</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;In the V1 API, when using web authentication from iOS, there was an option at the bottom of the screen "New to Dropbox? Create an Account". &amp;nbsp;In the V2 web authentication this has changed to "New to Dropbox? Get the App!" which redirects to the App Store.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This is problematic in that it adds complexity for a new (and possibly unsophisticated) user. &amp;nbsp;Not only does this take them away from the calling app, &amp;nbsp;they need to install the Dropbox app,&amp;nbsp;open it, then create a Dropbox account then re-open the original app.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Contrast this with the V1 approach where the original app can authenticate in a web view, thus allowing the user to create an account and continue the authorisation process without ever leaving the app. This provides a much better onboarding experience for inexperienced users.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is there a way to get this behavior in V2 ?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Many thanks&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The account creation option was actually removed in favor of the app link in order to comply with Apple's App Store policies, unfortunately. For reference though, this behavior is controlled via the 'disable_signup' parameter on the /authorize page. It defaults to 'false', but is set to 'true' in the iOS SDKs in particular in order to prevent apps from being rejected from the App Store.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you're using the official &lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c" target="_self"&gt;API v2 Objective-C SDK&lt;/A&gt; though, you can technically change this by doing:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;[DBOAuthManager sharedOAuthManager].disableSignup = false;&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks Greg, much appreciated. We haven't had an App Store rejection to date, hopefully that will continue.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Again, thanks. I appreciate the quick response.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
