Re: Error in call to API function "files/upload": HTTP header "Dropbox-API-Arg":
good you are available
Said so, pls let me know How to fix it.
to recap:
a) my ap is written in swift, NO other components (neither official dropbox library, too big and too messy)
b) it did work since 2 month ago. now I got error
c) if I cannot see WHAT has been broken, pls sent me HINTS about, OR let mr speak with some tech guy of upper level, to get some helpful tips.

I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with:
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
- the full text of any error or unexpected output
this is my Swift code:
case .Upload:
var optionsStr = "{\"path\": \"PATH_PLACEHOLDER\",\"mode\": \"add\",\"autorename\": AUTORENAME_PLACEHOLDER, \"mute\": false,\"strict_conflict\": false}"
optionsStr = optionsStr.replacingOccurrences(of: "PATH_PLACEHOLDER", with: remotePath!)
let autoRename = autoRenameOnServer ? "true" : "false"
optionsStr = optionsStr.replacingOccurrences(of: "AUTORENAME_PLACEHOLDER", with: autoRename)
#if DEBUG
print("header: ", optionsStr, "\n")
#endif
request.setValue(optionsStr, forHTTPHeaderField: "Dropbox-API-Arg")
request.setValue("application/octet-stream", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
And I send it AS other cases (for example LIST)
the above code is for uploading.
As said, it worked a couple of weeks ago and for more than 2 years.
SO the unique reason is Siem Apis is changed OR other inner things, but NO decent details.,
to be cleat: after this code we issued the USUAL, beloved, apple-endorsed code:
let session = URLSession.shared
let task = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: {data, response, error -> Void in
