dropbox-sdk-obj-c issue

Hi there!

 

I am new with your API but now I got a task to update it. 

I am trying to migrate our app from API v1 to API v2 and this is like hopeless fighting.  

 

First of all, we don't use any dependency manager. I tried to add as subfolder in our project and it failed to build. It complains about that some header files are not found.

 

Today I did it with Cocoa pod. It seems like it fixed problem and all headers are in. 

But then I follow instructions from GET STARTED part on github and again a lot of troubles.

(https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c#handling-the-authorization-flow)

 

According to this guide I should use [DBClientsManager setupWIthKey:@<API_KEY>]

but xcode complains that there is no DBClientsManager class and suggets to use 

DropboxClientsManager.  I have replaced it.

Then when I try the authorization flow part Xcode again stops me and complains that openUrl is deprecated. 

 

BTW, here https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-obj-c/api-docs/latest/ you can find DropboxClientsManager class but not DBClientsManager.

 

Could you please point me what I am doing wrong? Is any possibility to add 

ObjectiveDropboxOfficial manually as framework? and what wrong with documentation? 

 

Thanks

    Thanks for the post! We don't currently offer the API v2 Objective-C SDK just as a framework file, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. We highly recommend using a package manager, as it helps stay up to date with updates. You can find the three supported installation methods in the README here.

     

    Also, thanks for pointing out the DBClientsManager/DropboxClientsManager issue! The documentation is just out of date. We'll get that fixed up. It should be DropboxClientsManager.

     

    Finally, the openURL message should only be a warning, and not an error, correct? It shouldn't be preventing you from building the app. Let me know if not though.

      Thanks for reply!

       

      Ok, I will check there more. I have added ObjectiveDropboxOfficial and it works now, thank you =)

       

      Yes, it is just warning and I still can build project. 

       

      I have some questions about its usage:

      before we used [[DBSession sharedSession] isLinked] to check whether user is linked or not. Is any easy possibility to check it now?

      I can check it with 

      [DropboxClientsManager authorizedClient];

      != nil || [DropboxClientsManager authorizedTeamClient] != nil)  ?

       

      Also  DBRestClientDelegate and  DBNetworkRequestDelegate - we don't need them now ? 

      I have searched some similar questions in the community but no success.

       

      Before I used DBMetadata class - property  isDirectory. How can check whether it DBFILESMetada is directory or not.

      I see DBFILESMetada has name, pathLower, pathDisplay.

      Is there an easy way (like isDirectory before) to check item type?

       

      Sorry for simply questions - I am new with these API.

       

      Thanks
