I have a phonegap application which has a plugin added to provide the Dropbox Functionality https://github.com/rossmartin/phonegap-dropbox-sync-android. As this plugin uses the API V1 which is going to deprecated on 28 june 2017. How can I upgrade from API V1 to V2.? Do I need to change the enire functionality or is there any way to upgrade from V1 to V2? Or else How can I implement or add the dropbox functionality to my cordova ios and Android app. What do I need to do in order to upgrade so the dropbox functionlity in not interrupted? Need some help

Yes, we've moved the API v1 retirement date to 9/28/2017.

To acknowledge the deprecation, sign in to the Dropbox account that owns the API app and go to the App Console:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps

There will be a banner there where you can acknowledge the deprecation.

API v1 and API v2 offer entirely different interfaces, so you will need to update how your app integrates with Dropbox by making changes to your app's code.

 

To use API v2, we recommend using one of the official SDKs, if possible. We don't have an SDK for PhoneGap in particular though:

Alternatively, there are some third party libaries:

I don't see any on that age, but there may also be PhoneGap plugins written for API v2, though I can't offer any insight there, as that would be made by a third party.

 

Or, you can call the HTTPS endpoints directly:

This says the deprecation of API V1 is delayed. Is it true???? 

How to acknowledged the v1 deprecation?
