Yes, when I had this issue the app secret was incorrect. Dropbox's page with the app secret won't let you copy it to your clipboard! :( Originally my app_key and app_secret were the same because it didn't copy correctly and didn't cause an error.

You have to type the app_secret manually into your code and hope you don't make a mistake and/or check it 10 times.
