Objective-C SDK crash
Hi,
in my project I am using the Objective-C SDK: I am updating the app to use scopes and short lived tokens. I added the SDK to the project by manually copying all the classes.
I am getting ...

Hi Greg,
please tell me if I am wrong.
I have updated the code of the app to use short-lived tokens, and I will release the update on the App Store in a few days.
But I haven't updated the app on the console of my Dropbox account. If so, users who update the app can connect it to Dropbox, or I need to updated the app on the console and set the "Access token expiration" to "Short-lived"? To recap, I would release the updated app on the App Store with the code using short-lived tokens, but without setting the "Access token expiration" to "Short-lived" on the console. There is something wrong about it? Or I need to set the "Access token expiration" to "Short-lived" before releasing the app update on the App Store? Is this mandatory?
Thank you very much,
Mario

5 years agoYou are not required to change the "Access token expiration" setting for your app. If you do not change it, existing users on old versions of your app will continue using the old flow, and users on the updated version of the app will use the new flow. If you do not change it, nothing will change for old versions of your app until September 30th, 2021.

Ok, thank you very much Greg.
I'll leave the setting as is, and I only publish the new version of the app. This seems the best approach to me.
Thank you again,
Mario
