10 years agoThe null error in the simulator is expected, since the Dropbox app isn't installed, but it should fall back to the built-in authorization flow.
The restriction in iOS 9 only applies to canOpenURL, and not openURL, so the official Dropbox app itself does not need to register the URL schemes of every app that uses the SDK. (There was a bug in a beta version of iOS 9 that affected this though, so make sure you're running a general release version.)
If you're seeing an issue with the user not getting redirected back to your app after authorizing it in the Dropbox app, please make sure you've followed all of the instructions from the installation and tutorial pages. If you're still seeing this issue, please follow up here with:
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including the versions of iOS and the Dropbox iOS SDK you're using
- the relevant code snippet(s), e.g., where you initialize your DBSession and call linkFromController, if you're using the Core SDK, or the equivalent in SwiftyDropbox
- the relevant pieces of your app's plist, e.g., where you register LSApplicationQueriesSchemes, as well as your own db-APP_KEY scheme
