Multiple platform Core v1 to v2 Migration Question
Currently we are using the v1 Core API to suport users accessing their Dropobox content via our apps on 3 ptatforms (iOS , MacOS, and Windows) with App Folder permission. We are likely to migrate to the v2 API in our iOS app first with the two desktop apps to follow later. If we migrate a user to the v2 API in our iOS app will that cause any problems for this user acessing their content in our desktop apps which may still be using the v1 Core API? Or do we need to release this support simultaneously?
- That won't have any impact. You can continue using the OAuth 1 or OAuth 2 access tokens on API v1 even when you start using OAuth 2 access tokens on API v2.

Hi Scott, you can migrate different platforms at different times like this. Your app can use different versions of the API at the same time without issue. They'll both access the same file data as they would otherwise.Greg,
Thanks for the quick reply. I do have followup question concerning acess tokens. If we migrate a user to an OAuth 2 token from an OAuth 1 token does this have any affect on a user's Dropbox access from our apps that are still using the v1 Core API? Or is this also transparent ot the user?
