Authentication to dropbox on tvOS

[Guy G.7]

I want to authenticate to dropbox in tvOS. However, when dropbox opens the authentication dialog, there is not way for the user to fill it- the UI does not meet the tvOS requirements. So I want to open a tvOS dialog for username/password. But Is there a way then to take this data to authenticate manually, i.e. using code that will input the dropbox username and password?

Thanks

John, have you reviewed the information above in this thread, including the sample code helpfully provided by g r.? Have you hit some issue with the technique described?

Did it. How to use tvOSDropboxAccessToken ?

By the way, plenty of Swifty forks are on Github trying to support tvOS.

I thought I'd give some info on how I've done authentication with other cloud providers on tvos.  As some have already mentioned, tvos doesn't allow web views.  While some devs go the route of presenting a code to the user, and having them browse to a web site to enter that code, I went another route.  I use a companion iOS app to send the token to the apple tv app, once the user has authenticated via oAuth.  Lots of other tvos apps are going this route, as you don't have to have a web server.

Fabric's Digits authentication library looks pretty good on tvOS. It would be really nice if Dropbox included support for that as a sign-in method. It looks like it supports some sort of interaction with OAuth. Has Dropbox considered integrating it at all? Alternatively, is there any update on when there will be a SwiftyDropbox version released that is both tvOS native and able to handle authentication mostly on the TV (with little or no server-side coding required on the part of the app developer)?

Thanks for the feedback. I don't have an update on this on our side though.

We've released an app in the Apple TV App Store that allows you to view your Dropbox photos and videos on your Apple TV.  Enjoy!
