Refresh token, where I can find an implementation example or tutorial?
Hi,
I need to update my app to support new OAuth code flow with PKCE/scopes and new short-lived tokens. For code flow with PKCE and scopes I see there is the new method "DBClientsManager.authorizeFromControllerV2:...". But, where I can find a tutorial or an example about using and refreshing short-lived tokens? I don't know which method to call, when call it and how to manage the response.
I have read:
- https://dropbox.tech/developers/now-available--scoped-apps-and-enhanced-permissions
- https://dropbox.tech/developers/migrating-app-permissions-and-access-tokens#implement-refresh-tokens
- example app DBRoulette
- this forum
but I found nothing.
Please help, thank you.
If you use the SDK and implement the authorization flow as documented, i.e., using authorizeFromControllerV2, the SDK will actually automatically handle the short-lived access token and refresh token logic for you.
Sorry,
I missed some info: I am using the official Objective-C SDK from Dropbox available here:

Thank you

Wow, good news :-) I'll try it as soon as possible.
Greg, thank you very much for your prompt answer.
PS: maybe you should add a clarification to the documentation :-)
