Android M - Android deprecated apache module (HttpClient, etc)
Hi,
Do you have plans to release a new version of the Core API SDK that supports Android M since Apache module was deprecated.
How can I use it since now I can't use my app on a device with Android M?

I can't make any promises, but I'll pass this along as a request.
It looks like you should be able to enable the legacy library though, per the documentation:
https://developer.android.com/preview/behavior-changes.html#behavior-apache-http-client
I'm having this same issue. Unfortunately we cannot use the workaround mentioned at https://developer.android.com/preview/behavior-changes.html#behavior-apache-http-client because we using an older version of the Gradle plugin which does not have the "useLibrary" method, due to a separate issue (http://b.android.com/182254).
This will soon be an issue with every developer using the Dropbox SDK and trying to compile against the Android M SDK. I certainly hope you will make this a priority.- Greg-DB
Thanks for the information!
I have Android Plugin Version 1.3.0 in my Android Studio and it seems I solved issue adding
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'in my gradle.build file.
I hope this will help someone.
