Is API v1 still being turned off 28 June 2017?

I know that a cutoff date of 28 June 2017 for API v1 is what is stated on your Developer Blog here...

https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2016/06/api-v1-deprecated/

 

But, it seems as though there are some problems with the current version of the API v2 Objective-C SDK, for example the in ability to cancel requests...

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c/issues/76

 

As as everyone here knows: the v1 to v2 transition is a very sizable programming and debugging effort. I am concerned that I will not be able to migrate my iOS app to API v2 and thoroughly complete testing in time for the shut off of v1. Note that my iOS app has been running flawlessly under v1 for over two years.

 

Is there any possibility that the v1 shut off date can be moved back to allow us (and you) more time to get this transition right?

 

Thank you.

    Yes, API v1 is still planned for retirement on June 28 2017. I can't make any promises, but I'll send this along as a request to extend that timeline.

    We're aware of the issue in the Objective-C SDK you linked to. We will be releasing a fix, but in the meantime you can use version 2.0.5 of the SDK (instead of 2.0.6) as a workaround.

      I would like to 2nd that request. The APIv2 doesn't really have much documentation around, and is taking a considerable amount of resources to update.

        Thanks for your patience here. We are now reviewing requests for extensions to API v1 access for cases where apps can't be migrated by June 28, 2017. If you still believe you will need an extension for API v1, please open a ticket here:

        https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact

        In the ticket, please include the following:

        - The app key(s) for the app(s) you need an extension for.
        - The reason(s) for the extension.
        - How long of an extension you're asking for.

        Thanks in advance!
