Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
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!
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.
That's excellent -- thanks very much for adding that!
