DropBox API auth error - {".tag" = "expired_access_token"}
Language Swift

We have app where we use dropbox api to allow our users to upload a document.
This app used to working perfectly two years ago.

I use SwiftyDropBox which was install by pod
The version number is 7.0.1
Please note this code was working fine before.
I do not use any access_token
What I use is this
DropboxClientsManager.setupWithAppKey("<my key>")
And this is the function I call when user click to dropbox button
func sendUsingDropBox() {
let dbClient = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient
if (dbClient != nil) {
isDropBoxModalOpened = false
startWI()
dbClient?.files.listFolder(path: "", recursive: true, includeMediaInfo: true).response(queue: DispatchQueue(label: "DbLfSerialQueue")) { response, error in
if let result = response {
self.dbFolders.removeAll()
result.entries.forEach({(metdaData) in
if !metdaData.description.contains("size=") && !metdaData.description.contains("size =") {
self.dbFolders.append(metdaData.pathDisplay!)
}
})
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.stopWI()
self.showChooser()
}
} else if let error = error {
print(error.description)
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.stopWI()
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "DropBox", message: error.description, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: THAlerts.Ok, style: UIAlertActionStyle.default, handler: nil))
self.present(alert, animated: false, completion: nil)
}
}
}
} else {
isDropBoxModalOpened = true
DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController(UIApplication.shared,
controller: self,
openURL: { (url: URL) -> Void in
UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
})
}
}

Dropbox StaffThanks for the additional information. From this I see you're using the 'authorizeFromController' method. You'll need to switch to using the 'authorizeFromControllerV2' method instead as shown here to support the new flow. Once you do so, the SDK will automatically handle short-lived access tokens and refresh tokens for you so you shouldn't receive 'expired_access_token' for new authorizations.
