files.listFolder error code -999 cancelled

I have the following code:

 

    let client = DropboxClient(accessToken: "<ACCESS_TOKEN>")
        
        print("!!! client=", client)
        
        client.files.listFolder(path: "").response {
            
            response, error in
            
            if let result = response {
                
                print("Folder contents:")
                
                for entry in result.entries {
                    
                    print(entry.name)
                    
                }
                
            } else {
                
                print(error!)
                
            }
            
        }
            
    }

I'm getting the following messages in my debug window:

 

!!! client= SwiftyDropbox.DropboxClient
Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-999 "cancelled" UserInfo={NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://api.dropbox.com/2/files/list_folder, NSLocalizedDescription=cancelled, NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://api.dropbox.com/2/files/list_folder}

What does that error mean and how do I fix it?
