No support for iOS < 9 in Dropbox V2 API for Objective-C???
Objective-C App on iOS simulator fails during authentication using an iOS 8 taget but works with iOS 10:
dyld: Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_SFSafariViewController
I wasn't aware that iOS < 9 was not longer supported, but this appears to be the case as this class arrived in iOS 9. If true will adjust deployment target accordingly.
Thanks
Yes, we dropped support for iOS 8 support in v3.0.12. We had to do so to support some changes to the authorization flow. There's more information in the release log.

Wow, this is too bad. I have an app that still proudly runs on the first iPad with iOS5. It is still fully functional and works well. With V2 and especially this change, the entire dropbox implementation will be useless. At the very least I was thinking maybe I could update just the dropbox part, but I guess not.

So the dropbox app will not work either I gather? So anyone not running iOS9 is out of luck with dropbox?
