Dropbox api v2 null - Do you want to allow this page to open “(null)”?
What would be causing my app to show "null" when running a Mac OS app called "ezReceiptMac" ? It is pointing to an existing Dropbox APP ID called "ezReceipt". My Mac OS app is sandboxed and has "Inco...
When I try to connect my sandboxed Mac OS app called “ezReceiptMac” using my existing Dropbox APP ID for an app called “ezReceipt” the prompt shows “null” for the app’s name.
I guess I would expect it to read: Do you want to allow this page to open “ezReceiptMac”.
At this point when I click “Allow” it appears that the user does get logged into Dropbox but there is no indication of that other than in the Xcode console. Shouldn’t this action redirect the user back to the app from the browser after clicking “Allow”?

Dropbox StaffThanks! The expected result here is that the dialog would show the app name, and clicking "Allow" would send the user back to the app.
Can you share your plist file? That controls how your app is registered for this. In particular, for the null app name issue, I think CFBundleIdentifier may be relevant.

Yes please see the plist file below. The app id has been removed.

- Greg-DBThanks! I was able to reproduce the issue by removing the value for CFBundleIdentifier. Yours is $(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER), so make sure that "Product Bundle Identifier" is set in your target's Build Settings. That's listed in the Packaging section.
The "Product Bundle Identifier" has been set in the target's Build Settings the whole time.
Still seeing the "null" issue.
