Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I'm following the SwiftyDropbox documentation for my project, and have gotten as far as having my app switch to authenticating via the Dropbox app and switching back into my app.
However, the
application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool function is not being called. When I try to initialize a client via
DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient, the client is nil.
The setupWithAppKey is in my AppDelegate, as is the above-referenced function. I know things are partially working, since when I trigger authorizeFromController, I don't get a login prompt from the Dropbox app - just an Allow button.
Any ideas what I'm missing or doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Greg
Greg, that was the issue! Thanks kindly, and I wish I'd noticed that myself so I could have saved us both some time. Oy!!!!
Thanks for the quick reply, Greg.
SwiftyDropbox version: 4.3.0
iOS version: 11.2.2
'open URL' code (identical to reference code):
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool { if let authResult = DropboxClientsManager.handleRedirectURL(url) { switch authResult { case .success: print("Success! User is logged into Dropbox.") case .cancel: print("Authorization flow was manually canceled by user!") case .error(_, let description): print("Error: \(description)") } } return true }
Hi Greg,
When I put a print statement directly after 'open url' and immediately before 'handleRedirectURL', the print statement is not executed (even after successfully authenticating to Dropbox and switching back to my app).
Is there any other debugging I can do?
Only a single 'open url' definition in the project, so that's not the issue. Oh well, I'll forego Dropbox support for the time being and hope that an update sorts things out.
Thanks kindly for your time and help.

Sure. I created a dummy project to test, and I get the same result. This tells me I've got to be missing something fundmental.
ViewController:
import UIKit
import SwiftyDropbox
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBAction func launchAuth(_ sender: Any) {
authenticateToDropBox()
}
@IBAction func testClient(_ sender: Any) {
if let _ = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient {
print("Got client.")
} else {
print("No client.")
}
}
// Dropbox stuff
fileprivate func authenticateToDropBox() {
if DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient == nil {
DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController(UIApplication.shared,
controller: self,
openURL: { (url: URL) -> Void in
UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
})
}
}
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
if DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient == nil {
DropboxClientsManager.setupWithAppKey("<redacted>")
}
// Setup redirect back into app after Dropbox auth
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
print("open URL getting called")
if let authResult = DropboxClientsManager.handleRedirectURL(url) {
switch authResult {
case .success:
print("Success! User is logged into Dropbox.")
case .cancel:
print("Authorization flow was manually canceled by user!")
case .error(_, let description):
print("Error: \(description)")
}
}
return true
}
return true
}
When I click the first button (launchAuth), I am taken to the authentication dialog, where I log in. I click 'Allow' and am returned to my app. When I click the second button (testClient), I get nil for the authorizedClient (i.e., prints 'No client').
Thanks and let me know if something's missing.
