Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
It is not possible to build a WatchOS 2 app without the containing application also being built entirely with Bitcode. So even though a normal iOS 9 app does not require Bitcode strictly, anything with a WatchOS 2 app does including the containing iOS 9 app.
Therefore, it is critical that all libraries and frameworks such as Dropbox release at least a preliminary build that provides Bitcode.
I don't have a timeline for the next update for the iOS Core SDK but I'll send this along to the team as a request.
We did the integrate the source method. Note that the source is woefully out of date and not even ARC ready, so make sure to insert the special compiler flag -fno-objc-arc on each Dropbox file. Also, make sure not to include all the OSX stuff. Also, Xcode will complain about many deprecated APIs it uses. (Presumably it is these issues that is stopping Dropbox from taking the short minutes required to just release a properly rebuilt library?) Would save a lot of time for developers for Dropbox to build this using the original scripts that lipo it all together properly.
Note: For iOS apps, bitcode is the default, but optional. If you provide bitcode, all apps and frameworks in the app bundle need to include bitcode. For watchOS apps, bitcode is required.
Any other tips for adding source to own project? After adding
Base64Transcoder.c, I get errors in my Prefix.pch (Expected identifier on first import).
John, I don't recall running into any issues like that on the occasions I've added the source code directly. Can you open an API ticket with the steps to reproduce this so we can look into it?
Few months later, still no bitcode enabled FW, obsolete source files,... All this is normal ?
We don't have an updated Core SDK release with bitcode enabled, but I'll send this along as feedback to the team.
I just realized that a new API is available. Swift based. This is probably best option.
Hi all, we have a new release of the iOS Core SDK built with bitcode:
Great news ! Thanks for this.
