Cannot Redirect to UWP application with custom URI
Hi team, We initially implemented the WebView in the Xamarin application for all platforms; it initially worked well, but now that the support for WebView is deprecated, we are unable to use the Web...

Dropbox StaffThanks for sharing that. From your earlier screenshot, I see that the app is registered for the redirect URI "dbssample://LoadPDFFromURL.UWP/", however in the 'redirect_uri' parameter in this authorization URL, I see that you're using "dbssample://loadpdffromurl.uwp/".
Those values need to be exactly the same. So to address this, either update your app to use "dbssample://LoadPDFFromURL.UWP/" in the authorization URL, or register your app for "dbssample://loadpdffromurl.uwp/".

Haha... 😁 Greg-DB, can you post some example code doing that? 🧐
Dropbox .NET SDK won't let you. 😉 Take a look here.
By the way... URI components are case insensitive (or should be at least). That's why, .NET lowercase the URI, but Dropbox core seems ignore this! This is Dropbox BUG! 🙂
Let's hope this will be fixed soon.
Hi ManojDB,
In general it's bad idea to use mixed case URIs. By the way we are talking for URI here not for URL - another term mistake. In spite the check should be case insensitive, it's preferable usage of lower case letters as a URI or URL construct!
Instead waiting for Dropbox bug resolve, just make all your strings lower case everywhere. This will solve your issue. 😉
Hope this helps.
