Objective C Console Errors Should I be worried?
Hello,
(First sorry for the new user name, it wouldn't allow me back in...)
I sucessfully upgraded my app to use API v2 Objective C - however when running from the simulator when checking if I have an active account I get the following errors in the log - but they don't seem to stop anything and I can't locate where they are occurring.

2017-01-05 13:50:46.179 AppName[11111:111111] App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via your app's Info.plist file.

It seems to occur after this call
self.restClient.filesRoutes
Thanks for the additional information! I can't reproduce this issue using your code though, so it does seem there's something else going on.
I took a closer look at the output you shared, and the PAC/proxy messages cite error 1022, which is NSURLErrorAppTransportSecurityRequiresSecureConnection. That indicates it is the proxy attempt that's causing the App Transport Security failure.
The simulator uses your computers network connection, so I recommend checking the System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies > Automatic Proxy Configuration for a Proxy Configuration File hosted on http://.
- Greg-DBDropbox StaffThe Dropbox API operates entirely over HTTPS, so it shouldn't trigger a message like that. Are you sure that's the only thing running when you get this?

Yes - my app only uses dropbox to call out. Everything else is 100% local. I am not running anything else from the simulator (that I am aware of).
Even added this to my plist file:
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key> <dict> <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key> <false/> </dict>
It only seems to happen on that one call I noted above, I get the HTTP warning, and the other two errors. But my app works just fine. So I am confused.
- Greg-DBDropbox StaffThe other output seems to indicate that you may be trying to use a proxy, configured via a pac file. Is the pac file hosted on HTTP?
Otherwise, can you share the rest of the code? What you shared was incomplete. I'll be happy to try to reproduce it.
