DropboxClientsManager authorizeFromController not doing anything

Hello,      I'm having trouble presenting the Dropbox login to the user.  I had it working some time ago, but today I tried it and nothing happens.  I make this call and nothing happens.     ...

    Hey Greg,

     

        Finally found it.  I was skipping the call to DBClientsManager setupWithAppKey!  It was in there, but I was mistakenly skipping it when my app had stored the preference that Dropbox was disconnected.  It's weird that that produces no error messages.  I found the problem by stepping in the debugger into authorizeFromController and noticing that both my sharedApplication and controller arguments were 'nil', even though they were valid values when I passed them.  Then I noticed the assert in that function:

     

     NSAssert([DBOAuthManager sharedOAuthManager] != nil,
               @"Call `Dropbox.setupWithAppKey` or `Dropbox.setupWithTeamAppKey` before calling this method");

    As soon as I saw that, I knew what I had done.

     

    I guess that the assert never fired, because [DBOAuthManager sharedOAuthManager] is a valid number even if you have not called setupWithAppKey?

     

    Anyway thanks for helping me with this problem, I really appreciate it.  I'll probably run into more but at least this one is down.

    Bob
