Refresh token, where I can find an implementation example or tutorial?
Hi,
I need to update my app to support new OAuth code flow with PKCE/scopes and new short-lived tokens. For code flow with PKCE and scopes I see there is the new method "DBClientsManager.authorizeF...
If you use the SDK and implement the authorization flow as documented, i.e., using authorizeFromControllerV2, the SDK will actually automatically handle the short-lived access token and refresh token logic for you.
Possibly the simplest way to do that would be to fork the repo and push up my changes. Is that gonna help you.

eweb Thanks! Looking at the comparison, I see the relevant difference is the replacement of authorizeFromController with authorizeFromControllerV2 in linkDropboxButtonPressed. That looks correct, and I don't believe you're missing anything. I'll give that a try myself and look into it.

eweb I tried this out, and it's working successfully for me. Even after the initial short-lived access token expires, the SDK automatically uses the stored refresh token to get a new short-lived access token and then uses that to successfully make further API calls, without having to report 'expired_access_token' back to the app's code.
Did you perhaps process the app authorization flow before switching from authorizeFromController to authorizeFromControllerV2 and so only had a short-lived access token stored, but not a refresh token? You can unlink the client and then re-authorize with authorizeFromControllerV2 in that case.
That is possible, I'll try it again.
