OAuth permissions issues in SwiftyDropbox under Ventura?

Update on this: I think the infinite number of Dropbox warnings were down to startup issues -- the FileProvider extension was trying to get basic Dropbox details (including the local path) before checking whether the main app was up and running yet, so it would keep reiterating the warning while the main app was still trying to authenticate. The solution was to move the initial Dropbox calls to after the main app had successfully authenticated.
We still get two access warnings on initial authentication, but we can live with that! Thanks.
Do you have any more details of the "fixes for use in application extensions"? For our limited use of Dropbox in our extension, we haven't had any problems to date under Monterey.

Dropbox StaffYou can find the release history for SwiftyDropbox here. There is a "Fixes for use in application extensions" in the latest release, v9.2.0, which might be relevant. Please try updating to that. If something still isn't working as expected with that, please share the specific steps/code to reproduce the issue so we can look into it. Thanks!

Further update: the FileProvider fix in 9.2.0 appears to be specific to iOS mobile devices -- this is a desktop macOS FileProvider, so not relevant to us.
So thanks -- this is a non-issue!
