Hi Vang, if you're migrating an existing app, or starting a new app, we recommend using one of the official SDKs for API v2:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation
They don't offer quite the same functionality as the deprecated Sync API though, but they do offer more control over the API calls you can make. So, if you want to offer offline caching, for example, you'd need to implement that in your app's code.
HI William, there's a sample app here, in three versions, one for each supported installation method:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c/tree/master/Examples/DBRoulette
Those are set up for use with package managers though, per the installation instructions.
We highly recommend using one of the supported package managers, as they make it much easier to install and keep libraries up to date. I believe it's possible to use the library without using a package manager at all, but we don't have documentation for that in particular. I'll send this along as a request for that.
